I have a leak from the port at the right bottom of the bowl. Anyone know what this port is for? Is it supposed to the covered/blocked or something? I just did a full rebuild on the carb and most of the gaskets/rings/diaphragm/etc are new. According to receipts from the previous owner a dealer replaced th...

Wondering if anyone has some experience on replacing the stock Carb in a 2005. Someone broke the inside wall of the Carb probably dropped it and tried repairing it, with ghetto procedures. Now it has a bad bog mid throttle. Just looking for good replacements instead of buying another stock one for $40...

Hello I have just got myself a 52.5 Mikuni pilot jet and I have noticed the pilot jet is a lot longer than the original jet I was wondering if anyone would recommend taking the white fuel splash shield that goes around the main jet off. To me it looks like it may affect the flow to the pilot jet and if i wa...

Hi all, I have the white tank TTR250 Open Enduro, I believe 1994ish. Since I've bought it, it has an annoyingly fast idle speed with the choke on. I have the manual but I cannot see a section which describes how to adjust it. Any help would be appreciated! For reference: I tried turning it in, but it doesn'...

I had put a spare tank on my 325 to use whilst I put a new set of decals on the original. The tank had a new fuel tap on so I didn't bother to take it out for inspection. I actually got around to stickering up the original tank today so decided to drain the spare tank of fuel before taking it off. It seemed odd that...

I have been playing with jets on my 1996 Raid lately. My bike has the snorkel out, no restrictor. Before it ran fine, but the first 1/4 was weak so I changed the #50 pilot to a 52.5. The new power was instantly noticeable. However, beyond about 1/4 -1/3 it weakens for a bit, then picks up again. Every singl...

Hi there. Just recently got myself a ttr and it rums a fcr33. I have just took it off to clean it out as it overflows if the engine is switched off and fuel is on. Does anyone else have experience of these carbs? If so what jets do you use and have you any advice?

Been fiddling around with the jetting on my 325 recently as I've got the loan of an Air/fuel ratio meter and header pipe with lambda sensor boss. (Oh, and I've got no wife/kids/life ) The 325 runs nicely on 50 pilot/147main jets, needle clip 1 notch above middle. Motad exhaust, Twinair filter and mild...

I was given an 04 TTR by a good friend. It hasn't run for a few years. I started it a few weeks ago and it kept cutting out. Because of the long lay off I suspected carb issues. I have removed, stripped and cleaned the carb but used no new o rings etc. I'm pretty sure somebody with a heavy wrist has had a go at the c...

Wonder how well a xt250 carb would fit ? The cables look like they would be a straight fit and it's a pumper carb like the original.

My bike is running rich, as it splutters a lot on WOT. I have ran it with air box lid removed and it runs a lot better. Main jet is a 147, can anyone recommend what size main jet to change to? exhaust is a CRD open pipe. Is there a point changing pilot jet as it runs ok on low revs. Many thanks.
