Stuck in Puno Peru
Hey guys,
I am stuck in Puno, Peru. Unfortunalty my KTM Adv. stopped running at 42780km.
What a mess!
I checked everything I could:
- changed the carburator setup to 80 octan gas usage
- inserted a new sparkling plug
- checked the piping, electrics
- changed the gas (maybe its was bad)
- let out the old gas of the carb
Everything with no effect, the bike doesn't start. My best guess is, that I have to clean the carburator. But unfortunalty I have never down that! On top I am parking in an outside parking lot and guess what its rainy saison......
Anyway, now my battery is empty and I am tired of trying to kickstart my bike on 3800m altitude.
Most likley, I will try to get to La Paz on a truck.
BTW, I don´t need more technical hints, the German KTM Adventure Forum was very helpfull already. But short of cleaning the carburator, I guess I did most of the suggested things.
So, does anybody know a good mechanic in La Paz?
Or is somebody in the aera to help me cleaning a Mikusi 40mm carburator?
Tja shit happens,
Steffen
