Hi Folks, looks like my bike has developed a misfire on part throttle, the first part. Starts OK, always has and I’ve not had this before. I usually turn the fuel off and let the float bowl empty after a ride as the bike can stand for a while not being used. Not good, I know ! I had a look at the float bowl drain s...

Not exactly carb But what fuel are people using, is E10 OK in the long run.

Hi, I ordered an all balls carb kit and a diaphragm for the accelerator pump from the marvellous Totally TTR's. My carb was dripping because some idiot( me ) put BP ultimate in it because the garage had just changed to E10 , So the rub is it was ultimate diesel So I stripped carb and replaced parts except f...

New to me 2003 TTR250, the carb slide is sticking half way open periodically. After some reading I understand the coating on the side starts to fail, which is the likely cause of this? Does anyone know if I can just buy a new slide? If so, from where and what is the part number? Thanks, Ryan

Just purchased a 2004. Prev owner said bike has sat since 8/16. The bike will not start. After looking at the carb, one of the hoses is not connected.

Hi folks, bike runs perfect, but when it comes to idle, engine stops. Is ist the little wheel in front of the carb? Can i take it out and clean? Where is the idle jet? thanks!

Its probably already been mentioned somewhere on here, but after purchasing the All Balls Carby rebuild kit, have to say i was pretty disappointed with it. Hadn't had the carb off since i got it. Theory being if it ain't broke, dont fix it. Was getting some minor over reving when coming to idle, so I th...

As there are a few 325s about, and the 350 kit is selling, I thought I should begin a thread about carb jetting for the big bore engines. Those of us who have been running the 325 for a while may have noticed they run a bit rich if the jetting is left standard. Sort of the opposite of what you might expect (coun...

I have been in email conversation with Peter Gray of Wilderness Wheels Morocco. They run a small fleet of blue TTRs alongside their KTM 450 EXCs. Peter says they find the TTR to be a totally competent off road bike in Morocco and is his preference over the KTMs for a ride over the mountains. He has rece...

I have a 2006 TTR 250 that sat for a few years. After it was taken out of storage, the carb was soaked and rebuilt (All balls kit), fuel lines replaced, inline fuel filter replaced, etc. The pilot jet continually plugs up. I've had the carb off countless times (I've actually gotten pretty good at it)....

I have had some cold starting problems on my 325 whereby it starts but quickly dies.

Hi, So I am a bit of a mechanical newbie (first post here too). I have a TTR250, but it stopped running. So I decided to try and clean out the carb as the first thing I've ever done to a bike (or even a car). Seemed to go alright, but after putting it all back together it has started leaking petrol out of the brea...

Bough a 2003 TTR250, whoever tried to service carb before me stripped and pinched off (with pliers) the accelerator pump nozzle jet. You cant buy this part and it doesn't show on the exploded ipc diagram. Anyone have a fix or a carb they don't need?

I rode the TTR to work today and she ran perfectly. I left her parked in the rain for 8 hours. When I started her up to come home, she just didn't want to run. I managed to limp about 1/4 mile, sometimes running fine, then bogging and stalling. Next only running with the choke full out before stalling again?...

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. The cable doesnt seem to be sticking. Not entirely sure whats going on here. Theres a post on this forum that de...

Hello all. I recently tore down my carb and cleaned it out because it had been sitting for a year and a half. I got it installed and put the bike back together, but when i turn on the pet****, gas comes out of both overflow lines. is it possible that i bent my floats?

My bike, after sitting for almost a year, would not get full power under full throttle First gear wasnt as noticable, but anything beyond that it seemed like it was choking on itself.
