Tried to use my 2000 sy on thursday,she ran for 3 or 4 minutes and then died.Will tick over but opoen the throttle and she just dies.Have removed cards and cleaned as best but when replacing the two wires on the front carb the inner had fallen out and I don't know what it is
Any ideas as far as the poor running is concerned and what the sensor is

Im guessing the 'sensor' is the carb heater. Has the bike been running fine until thursday or has it been sat for a while? Choke ok and whats your idle speed?

When it dies on moving throttle it can be water in carbs, don't worry about heater just leave both unplugged so as not to short out.

Is it still bad now you cleaned carbs?

I haven't put it all back together yet as i was concerned about the what i now know is the carb heater.but she was running fine until last thursday,idles at about 1000rpm but rises to about 1300 when hot
