Hi all,
i have just been given a K100lt that has been sitting outside for over 2 years ,
I gave it a quick once over, fresh fuel & plugs and its going in & out of gears & firing on all four but i cant get it to idle,
When i changed the plugs i could start it with a bit of throttle or with the choke pinned fully but when i let the throttle go
the choke runs at about 1.5k rpm and it wont idle at all,
also the fuel pump sounds like its running constantly(full tank of fuel)is this normal?
Anybody got any suggestions on what to try first?
