It is very difficult to remove/replace the choke with a standard spanner as there just isn't any room to turn it. I finally got motivated to grind down an old 12mm open-ended spanner to give some clearance and it works a treat

The page above came from a blue TTR manual and it's different to the instructions in the older TTRs' manual which, in step 4 (actually it's instruction 5 in the older manual), adds "and warm up the engine for several minutes" I am missing something here - why warm the engine up on the older TTRs? I am about...

Ok guys, new here So I'm sorry if this has been covered. I got my hands on an 04 blue 250 pretty much free in a trade as boot. It was bored .20 over and when they put it back together it wouldn't run. After I tore into it, ended up being bent exhaust valves. Got all that fixed. Then the carb was very dirty, and of c...

Has anyone fitted an inline fuel filter and if so what is the size please 6mm or 8mm? Thankyou

Thought it would be an interesting thread for everyone to post what Jets they are running along with any mods, exhausts and altitudes they are using. Mainly because there still seems to be a lot of different standard jets the TTRs run and it's unclear why? I've just fully rebuilt my bluey with the all ba...

I am currently rebuilding a 94 OE, amongst other things I found that the float valve wasn't closing properly. I have read the warnings about breaking the posts while trying to remove the float pin, so I was hesitant to try and remove the valve at first. After a bit of reading on the internet I found a tip to...

I just opened the air box intake, and cut 6 3/8" holes in the exhaust next to the main hole (stock muffler) to help reduce the restrictions in the bike. It ran very well before, and I'm wondering if I need to automatically richen the carb (hopefully with a needle clip adjustment) just because of this. ...

The bike has developed a bit of an issue today. It starts ok and idles with the choke off after warming up, without any problems. The trouble is anything more than 1/4 throttle and the revs don't rise and the engine splutters? It was dark and cold when this decided to happen, but luckily it happened just a...

I am going to try and rebuild a carb to run and look as close as possible to new as I can. I am already into it 2-3 hours so it's gonna be a long job! The finishing touch will be to re-plate the rusty steel parts and get the same colour as on a new carb using the Zinc/Nickel Plating Kit from Gateros Plating. These...

I just started a TTR 250 restore transformation. !st was check the valves. Lots of incorrect information out there about the TTR 250 head.

My blue ttr250 has been standing a long time. It would not start, checked the plug had sparks, so following the excellent guide removed the carburetor.

I stripped the carb today. Good news, I didn't break the float pin post. Bad news, the diaphragm is toast. Weird news, the pumper wouldn't have worked anyway. In stead of 2 o-rings, the in and out jets were blocked off by solid rubber rings. I wonder if it was disabled from the factory or whether som...

This week I have mostly been fettling the spare carbs I put back for projects that I am not now going to do! The first two just needed cleaning up and testing and they both worked fine. The first is on 147-50 jetting and the second on 137-50. These jets were what were already fitted so I didn't need to pull t...

So.. having some trouble getting the carb running right with any kind of open exhaust. Bike is a 2005 Bluey, jetting is standard, 50 pilot and 147 main.

Hey guys. I am taking the snorkel off my bike as I don't do deep water runs. I have also a barret aftermarket exhaust coming, so would a 52.5 pilot and 140 small round main be sweet for an uncorked and derestricted TTR?? I got this off a thumpertalk sticky, which is a sticky off the ttr250.com page. It sou...
