RM250 rm250 starting issues

Nighthawk016 · Mar 27, 2014

the FWW does not take any power any from the bike, it just changes the way the power hits, makes it much less abrupt and and more manageable

The latest thing I did with the cr250 we have is a rekluse clutch (Zstart pro). you can gear it higher and it still works better going slow on tight trails, and slick stuff. i got that one off ebay for under 200.

honestly i didnt measure i just blew threw the gas line until it looked flush lol. the pilot is rich i can tell it has a 52 in thier :banghead:

. main is rich aswell dosnt sputter but shes a lil flat 185 in the main needle i put at second clip.

that isnt a bad way to get at least a guess on how far off it is or isnt. if you put a long hose on it where you can get it up to eye level and use something to measure with you can really tell where it is going to be when it shuts off.

i rode a 96 rm with the pj carb, when the bike ran good, it wouldn't idle, when it idle'd it wouldn't run good, so I said eff it and just said fuck idling i dont need that..

exactly. on my cr500 and on a 94 cr125 we just ended up screwing that leak control all the way down tight. you could jet it then.

Vintage FTW...... I need a round slide

Nighthawk016 · Mar 27, 2014

nothing wrong with them. i still have a bunch of them. probably the only one I really want to keep has literally nothing for markings and has a magnesium body.

87ish FTW

i just got another 87 cr 500. bike has been trashed, but it was nearly free. turns over, has compression and spark. it would start. it has a round slide off of something on it. someone just lost patience years back.
