RM250 Coach Project 96 RM250

[Nighthawk016]

Coach's project continues!

I pulled the factory pj38 carb, just couldn't get it idling and running right. I swapped in a pwk38 and used some jetting specs from a person who has done this swap before. 52 pilot, dgk needle on the 3rd clip, and 172 main. I am very happy with the outcome, the bike idles now, and it's a little fat up top. I think I either drop the needle 1 clip position or drop the main to a 170.

Swapped the stock keihin pj carb for a keihin pwk 38mm carb. Bike runs much better.

The bike still stalls pretty easy when the rpms coming down and slowing down, I think it part of it is my clutch is dragging even when the clutch lever is completely pulled. More to come!

Tuning is much closer now! Dropped the main one size and installed different bars and hand guards.

Nice hand guards, if you spend anytime in the woods, they are a must imo.

Yeah most of my time is gonna be woods riding.

The bike appears to be running really well from the plug, but the silencer says differently! And I got my hinson basket installed today too!

So I dropped my pilot as it's been warming up here finally. The jetting is pretty close, but I still can't quite get the bike to consistently idle. It's loading up a bit, but under load it clears up almost immediately. I've been messing with my mix screw and kind of adjusting my idle up and down but I can't quite seem to get it. My digital tach that I've got installed now says in hovers around 2k rpms for a few seconds, then slowly idles down and stalls. Any recommendations?
