had enough of the TTR carb leaking fuel... Time to put the 32mm flat slide on... the carb is 12mm shorter the the TTR carb so will make a 12mm thick block to go between the head & manifold that will move the carb/manifold back 12mm to get the inlet into the air boot... put a 42 pilot & 50 main jet in it...

After breaking a couple of shafts (they are only made of brass) in the past trying to free a seized choke I decided to try a different approach today and it worked so I thought I would share it. I firstly took the top off the carb to see if there was any way of freeing it from inside but I don't believe there is...

Since it seems to be a common problem to break the float pin support mount on the TTR carburetors i thought i would add this simple fix to the problem.Thanks for reading, Cheers. The hole into the float pin support mount must be drilled on a slight angle so it does'nt hit the needle seat mount (pictured...

Hi to all . I have a 93 Japan grey import in Greece (yes we are still alive and kickin) and I looking to restore my carb. I have found this page for anyone who is intersted.

The forum seems to replicate owners problems on my own bikes somehow This time the problem was a rounded out drain screw on a carb.

Google translator. I think it's a carburetor. After being tipped to the left (I have not topped the right one yet) I can not run the foot of the engine. I do not have an electric starter. It is only after about 15-20 minutes that the motor can be started. Such a mystery. What is going on? Thank you.

Can't find this one anywhere in the 5 pages of carb posts so here goes...

So i just bought myself a 1999 ttr250 and everything works amazing, however the idle is high. I can fix this by giving it throttle real quick and letting off and then the idle goes down to normal.

Hi, Hopefully there's someone out there who's TTR'd the Pyrenees! Myself and a mate are going in a months time, both ride standard TTR250's, so the question is, will we need to re-jet? Going to be 10,000 feet max. Appreciate any help/light anyone can shed please. cheers, Tim

So, I put on a new muffler over the weekend and took the bike for a spin. Wow! More grunt! I feel like she has more torque now (able to change gears earlier at lower speeds). I am hearing a bit of backfire when decelerating at higher RPMs. I am unsure if this is because it is running lean or rich (haven't...

I recently inherited a 2004 ttr250 from a fellow firefighter who passed away. The bike was given to me without a carb. It is a project bike with intention of eventually making it street legal as a tribute bike to continue my buddies plan. I've looked to buy the teikei y30p but am unable to find one online....

I have three questions about my carb 1. Should it leak gas if the bike is on its side? 2. Should it stay running when it's on it's side? 3. When I do a coldstart should the bike cut out whenever I blip the throttle thanks.

I've taken apart my carb to deal with some leakage and it has clearly been taken apart before. One of the float arms had been broken off and pinned back together. There is also no white plastic insert seen in the following pic. What purpose does the white plastic bit have and does it matter if it doesn't ha...

My carb has a leak from the diaphram area at the bottom of the carb so the diaphram is probably toast, I'll need to replace it. My question is will this issue have an effect on performance? I have no other TTR to compare mine to but if I had to guess I would say it's feeling underpowered.

TTRfan · TTRfan

I have a carb that runs rich on tickover. Just touch the choke and its stalls immediately. I have set the float height artificially low - made no difference so it's not flooding. I have checked that the choke is seating properly so that's not the issue. I tried a smaller pilot jet and it made no difference...
