My 84 KXT250 Tecate won't stay running??

[14U2NV]

When I get it started it only runs for a few seconds then like bogs down when I twist the throttle and give it more gas. I have got a decent spark and I have checked the plug and it is not fouled. I am running the proper fuel-oil mix and the right ngk plug. What could be my problem???

Welcome to the board. That Tecate of yours is a wicked machine. I would start with the carb, and consider a plugged silencer, also.

dirty air filter, dirty fuel lines (put in an inline fuel filter) Sticky float in the carb, clogged jets maybe. I'd start with those. good luck! Welcome! Did it run well before, or are you a new owner?

Thank you so much for your "QUICK" info about my problem with my Tecate, I tore the carb apart and cleaned it properly and installed a inline filter and it fired off on the second kick and ran for like 1 or 2 minutes then died and now only starts after many kicks then dies and some times the plug is real wet and I have no spark. I have had this 3 wheeler now for 9 years, I replaced the stator oh about 4 years ago and it would run real good at times then get a weak spark from time to time from a loose connection on coil pack mounted on the frame. When it is running right it vibrates my hands till they are numb, and you better hold on because it is an adrenaline rush like no other!! Any info to help me would be greatly appreciated !!!
