Hope you don't mind me starting a non-NSR thread, but it is a Honda 2 stroke and you guys seem to know your stuff.
I bought a 1997 CRM250AR a couple of months ago and it's just packed up on me
I was riding off road with a mate when we stopped for a smoke. When I started the bike again, it fired up first kick and I rode off. I was still in first gear and had travelled about 20 feet when it died on me. It felt like I had run out of fuel as the engine just bogged down and stopped. I tried to restart it & it kicked over freely but would not fire. I then noticed that the in-line fuel filter between the tap & the carb was nearly empty. Fuel is coming out of the tap freely, so I continued kicking. After abour 10-15 kicks, the kickstarter went solid, and now it won't kick over at all. I found what looks like a priming button on a black box on the RHS under the tank and gave it a couple of squeezes which appears to have helped the fuel flow to the filter, but the kickstart is still solid.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I already have 2 bikes in bits in the garage, including the MC21
Cheers, Mike.
