Hello could someone tell me what this little dial is at the bottom of my carb. It's on a thread and screws in and out. Located bottom left of carb in the photo. Thank you!

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. The hose on the left hand side is connected and the drain hose is also. However on the right side of the carbs hose is no where to be found. Any chance that is my...

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'm currently rebuilding the carb on my ttr 250 and trying to isolate the revving and idle problem, how do I go about removing the float?

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)....

Like the title says. The bike has power after 80km. I had the carb apart and she was clean. jets look clean too. It was like this when it was purchased used.... Any ideas?

Has anyone done a carb swap or is the stock carb good? For context I want to build my ttr for aggressive riding and xc races.

I have had some cold starting problems on my 325 whereby it starts but quickly dies. I raised the pilot jet size up from 48 to 50 and it seemed to make an improvement but I haven't run the TTR often enough to test it thoroughly. I came across this video this morning and, even though the guy is dealing with a TT...

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?

NateGuy · NateGuy

Where can i find more detailed info on where everything goes when you're putting the bowl assembly of the carb back together?

NateGuy · NateGuy

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. Almost like a lope on a muscle car. I pulled the carb out, and I have a question about the accelerator pump thingy. Th...

Hi Guys Am trying to find factory settings for a TTR 250cc '95 OE carburetor Teikei Y30P?

widge · widge

Hi, I fitted the jets from the all balls kit, however the bike is running rough. it accelerates ok but pops through the silencer, on steady throttle it hesitates but no prblem starting. it takes a bit of time sometime for the tickover to settle down. Rob

widge · widge

Ok I messed up! Somehow I managed to damage the thread in the float bowl for the drain screw. I must have put it in cross threaded. I the drain screw itself is damaged but more worryingly is the thread inside the bowl. Any suggestion what to do? Rob

Hoping for some help...again 🙄.I have stripped the carb down to give a deep clean and found there is no baffle plate in the float end. Will this cause me issues and are they available to purchase? Also any idea when carb service kits will be back in stock? Thanks in advance Matthew

widge · widge

I went to start the bike after some time of it just sitting there. pulled out the choke and it fired up and reved like mad. pushed in the choke and it died. Tried it again and twisted the throttle stop to slow it down. Now will not start at all. I have got the carb off but before I take it to pieces anything...

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.
