My TTR stutters when im crusing or when i accelerate slowly any known problems as to why this is occuring ive blown all passages in the carb

and re-tried but it does the same thing.

What method of cleaning did u use?

The holes in the side of both the main jet and pilot jet need to be spotless aswell as the main hole. (see pic below)

old-newpilotjets.jpg

 

Also spray carby cleaner or similar around the rubber intake boot (bolts carby to motor) and around the top of the carby (making sure its reletively clean first) while idling bike. If you notice a change in revs then you have an intake/vacuum leak.

The float needle should be removed being carefull not to snap pin support (like it did ''see repaired pic below'' lol )and cleaned and seat (where float needle sits inside) needs to be either blown out or squirted through with carby cleaner aswell as any holes ie. two air holes at back of carby,air fuel mixture screw hole,fuel line ect.

 

 Give the slide and slot a light oiling (synthetic two stoke preferably)for a snappy responce

Before refitting (with bottom carby screws out and holding bowl in place) connect fuel line to carby check that the fuel level is about 10mm from top of bowl (roughly just over 3/4 full)

If it's not the right level either the float needle is not shutting off at the right point (ie.wrong float level) or it has dirt in it

You can also check the float level by taking note of what angle the float shuts at. It should be closed (ie no fuel coming through float needle) when the line on the float is level with the carby (horizontal)

To adjust the air-fuel mixture idle bike and turn fuel-air mixture screw in until it nearly stalls. It is then 1 and a half turns out (roughly). NOTE: one turn is a full revolution of the screwdriver line.

 

 Questions..

Did you try dropping the circlip on the pin (needle) down one slot?? NOTE: to do this obviously the circlip would go one higher on the pin settings.

What does your plug look like when removed??black??white??normal??

Tried a new spark plug?

Are you still using #147 main jet??

#147 main will be fine.

Your problem won't be main jet

Have you done all of the above?

I can't help if you don't tell me what you have tried and not tried.

Try all mentioned and let me know what your spark plug looks like....

Also how is your air filter? Is it standard?

Does your needle still have a nice sharp point on it? Wear?

It is a possibility of course although if it does it straight away after cleaning maybe not.

Flush and drain tank and check filters inside petc0ck valve if you think it's dirty fuel. Installing a fuel filter would be an idea.

 

 

 

If you have'nt checked all i mentioned above this mesg do so and get back to me with the verdict.

Glad you found your problem

Sounds like your needle is a bit worn,may go better with a new one but depends if it still has a cone shaped point to it.

 

 

My needle was still sharp but did'nt have a cone shaped point. I dropped it two needle settings and it went well like that but in the end the needle broke cry

The standard needle was aluminium and had seen better days no

I fixed the problem by using an xr250 needle that is brass so should last longer bleh

It fitted perfectly to my suprize  

Also fitting the new needle has given me heaps more responce when given revs all of a sudden aww

Funny I thought they were all brass no

Thanks

Steve
