I think the needle is hanging open, probably from sitting for so long with gas in the ( I use HP2 oil ). I checked the carbs this afternoon and it has a PWK stamped just above the bowl on the right hand side, so I now know it is a PWK. I will take the bowl off sometime this week, and see if the ...

You probably have a PJ carb- the choke and idle circuit are the same... and they suck...
Left is a new 39mm PWK and the right a original 38mm PJ, note the idle screw right above the fuel inlet on the PWK, mixture screws are lower and right of the inlet...

I had nothing but issues with old PJ, the ...

Ok, well.... I was just going by what my brother told me he ordered for them. If they are PJ's, what do I do? thow em in the trash and buy PWK ones? What could make the motor flood at idle but be fine off ...

sorry... one more thing. In my opinion, the carb is flooding the engine at idle, not starving it for gas. So I'm not sure if a plugged jet or needle would cause the problems I am having.

I was also looking at a blown up picture of a pwk carb, and I dont see the idle screw on mine, looks like its plugged off. all I have is an air screw and a choke.

I'm in Hawaii, so I cant be more than 500 - 700 ft above sea level, I did change the gas, drained the bowl, new plug and monster coil, also have new twin air filter.

I have two CR500's one is a 91, the other is a 95. Both bikes have the 39 PWK carb on it, and the carbs were both put on at the same time. I have had the carbs on the bikes for a few years, with about 1 year of not riding due to injuries. I am having a problem on both bikes where it runs fine ...

Those pictures are great, reminds me of the pictures I have seen in old dirt bike magazines. My uncle John Desoto was in quite a few, not sure if you all know who he is. I believe he was inducted into the motorcycle hall of fame in the past 10 years or so, maybe a liitle longer than that. Anyway ...

Yeah, I just realized that I posted this in the AF section. If one of the moderators wants to move it, thats fine with me.

Hi everyone,
I joined your site a few days ago and all I can say is you are all animals! I live in Hawaii, my brother and I have a 1991, 1995 and a 1985 CR500, 91 CR125, and a Kx80 for my mom. I am looking forward to reading all of your posts and also starting on my CR500AF conversion when I get ...

Links are broken, can someone throw it up on another server when you get the chance?

OK, thanks for the info. I just read a few reviews about AMR and their customer sat. I dont remember where I read them, but all three were in regards to taking forever to ship and not being responsive to emails. They also do business under 3 names, so I was a little warry about that. One of their ...

Hi, does anyone know where I can get a graphics kit for a 1991 CR500R? I found the AMRracing site, but reviews of their customer sat have been low. Also found XGX, but I'm not really into their stuff. Any help would be much appreciated.
