Hi, I have a 95 suzuki DT6 2 stroke long shaft. It was operating fine, then all of a sudden, it died on me. When I got it to start again, it will only start when choked or with the throttle at 2/3. It usually runs for 15-30 seconds, then dies. I removed all the jets and soaked everything but gaskets in carb cleaner, reassembled following specs I found online. Same issue. New fuel filter, opened fuel pump looks unobstructed. Poor help so far on the net.
 
Fuel supply Ok?

Air leak into fuel line esp at connector?

But most likely still not got the carb clean. Poke the slow running ( pilot) jet through with a soft copper wire. Make sure the passages are clear as well

I had about 4 goes at one that I think probably had some water into it before I finally sorted it

Checked sparks? Replaced plugs?

Poor help on the net? Where else have you tried.
