Using a fuel additive to clean the carburetor on a Kawasaki Ninja 250?

[Drew]

I let my motorcycle sit for over a month, and now when I try to adjust the choke, it either revs too high, or dies. Also, when I roll the throttle on, it will die unless I let off.

I suspect its gunk in the carburetor. I'm wondering if using a fuel additive like 'Gumout Fuel Injector & Carburetor Cleaner ' will be enough to fix the problem, or will I need to have some one take the carbs out and thoroughly clean them?

Added question:
I don't have much experience working on bikes, or cars for that matter. Is the Carb Spray something that can be used without taking the bike apart? Would I be able to figure it out, or would I be better off having a profesional work on it?

try less than 1/3 of the bottle, like one or two caps, and since you are talking about a bike and not a car, make sure it is a brand you know for sure is a really good brand, also consider a spray on carb cleaner and see if that helps also.

Seafoam is better than Gumout.Follow the directions on the can and see what happens.Nothing ventured nothing gained.I know for sure Pep Boys sells Seafoam and probably other auto part stores do as well.A month isn't that long so it might work ok.i have used it on engines that sat longer than that and had good luck.

i wouldnt use much and really a good choke cleaner or carb clean woul dwork spray would work just as well

seafoam seem to work well use about twice the amount they recommend. also try squirting it directly in to the carbs. then go run the piss out of it and down shift a lot.
