Kill Kuato

WEll Hell.

2 days ago, was coming down a hill and the KLR quit on me.. Glided to the side. Would not start. Had to walk it home, started to take it apart. The whole engine was flooded. I bled out the carburetor, and took out the gas soaked air filter. Some friends over at klrworld told me that the “float might be stuck” and some rl friends told me that I “fowled your spark plug”.

Here is after I loosened the shrouds and before lifting the tank.

Found some metal gunk and a pebble. And sure enough. Sparkplug Black as heck.

Will update soon, I hope I can put the thing back together!

*As of today, the bike has been fixed.  I put a new sparkplug in and WOOOOM. Starts.  I also changed the oil and stock filter. I am using Rotella 15-30.
