Hey everyone!
I recently bought a very used 2001 Suzuki SV650s. It was cheap, so no surprise that I've been having some problems.
The latest: it won't run. Well, kind of.
So it will start in full choke, and respond some to the throttle. It runs a bit irregular, but it runs.
If I give it too much throttle (not much, really) it dies. If I move the choke toward open at all, it dies. It was running fine last week when I started it, the problem began pretty suddenly. And before anyone asks, I just put gas in it!
I am thinking it must be a fuel issue as I am pretty sure by the sound and the smell that it is running lean, and the fact that opening the choke and adding air causes it to die immediately.
That being said, this is my first bike and I'm not familiar with it at all. Any ideas of what might be causing this?
Thanks!
