Having trouble with my TTR again. I love her but sometimes I want to throw her to the scrap-man. After recently inadvertently putting diesel in the bike I have been having fuelling issues, I cleaned the fuel lines out, drained the tank and have cleaned the carb about 3 times. I can not see anything wro...

I have a carb that checked over fine. All jets cleaned or replaced, etc. However, there was an idle problem where on occasions the engine would run at a fast tickover and other times it would be OK. I know there is another post about these symptoms somewhere but darned if I can find it I took my own advice a...

Just purchased a 2006 ttr-250 which ran perfect except I noticed it had a slow carburetor leak. I pulled the carb and replaced the diaphragm assembly which was stuck to the carb and bubbled. Now if I crack the throttle real quick the engine dies. If the choke is pulled out all the way it still dies abou...

Hi All Thanks To Jarrah, who kindly sent me some leftover carby bits, seals, gaskets, accelerator pump, O-Rings etc...and especially the 52.5 Main, my bike is running great now A bit more acceleration and power all over, it's great in the singles, smooth on rough uphills, just better all round I remo...

Ok, so the bike seems to be running really good. Nice throttle response and great power distribution from bottom to top. Looking at the spark plug, it looks grossly lean. I check the float height as follows: put a clear hose on the carb drain. Opened it up. Set the bike up level. Fuel filled up to as far as t...

I just found a part that I forgot to put back in my carb after fooling around with jetting. Oops!

how important is this? Is it ok to ride without it? Probably not, but I would like to make sure before I tear my carb apart for the 10th time within the last week. Please help.

I just got done modding my bike after ordering parts all winter. I drove it on a dry winter day in stock form and it worked great, but just needed a little extra arm pump. I just installed an FMF PC4, twin air filter and removed snorkel along with opening up the hole a bit, and 6 sigma jet kit. It came with 3 mai...

There was some question about stock jets on US models - for the record, I pulled the carb on my 2003 US model, which I'm pretty certain has never been touched, and the jets are in fact 137/50 (as Jarrah had opined) even though my manual says the pilot is 52. I was told this bike was originally sold in Alaska...

Has anyone stripped a carb and found this item missing? I stripped and cleaned mine the other day and then had a look through one of Brian's guides on carbs and found I didn't have the valve in the photo below. I can't see how I have lost it but not sure how it would run if missing? Sorry for stealing you pic Br...

Overhauling and cleaning the carb on one of of my TTR's I clumsily catapulted the accelerator pump return spring (the little one under the diaphragm) across the garage never to be seen again. Can I get a replacement? Is the spring rate critical on that spring, or can I find something that fits and stic...

Yo! So it goes like this. I buy this bike and it's got a few things done to it. I busted it all open because it was surging when I was riding at a stead speed. The airbox snorkle is cut and the throttle stop is removed. I get on the google and it sais that this is a basic way to open up the bike, but it need jettin...

My turn to ask for help I am rebuilding a carb and want to go down from a 52.5 to a 50 pilot jet. The replacement jet looked right but didn't fit as the small diameter section was a tad too wide I have a new genuine Yamaha 50 pilot jet in my spares box but it is much shorter. See pic below: The shorter jet fits fi...
