  • Suzuki DT140 When idle fuel comes from main nozzle

    A question for anyone who still have this engine.
    My idle is rough. I have previously tried to adjust with the pilot screw until it lean pops. Still rough up to 1/4 of throttle. Then great.

    Is it normal that it will flow fuel from main nozzle during idle? Its not much but maybe a 1/2 teaspoon a minute. I have studied the service manual and as I can understand during idle fuel should only come from the pilot jet, not the main nozzle.

    If I tilt the engine it runs better as the extra fuel now runs out on the front side of the carb.
    I have checked the float height of the bulbs, 17mm (0.67in). Service manual says 17mm - 19mm (0,67in - 0.75in).

    I have checked the needle valve and tried if the carb will overflow when working on the fuel primer. No leaks.

    I´m thinking on going down to 15mm and see what happens.

    Any help is highly appreciated.
