when you cleaned carb did you clean out choke enrichment jet, assuming you have one, it can get over looked.
You said you checked woodruff but then said you were waiting for a flywheel removal tool ???. the symptoms you describe sound like failed woodruff to me!
From memory, I think you have to drop out the swing arm to get to master cylinder. Its only two bolts that hold M/c in place but there is not much room and as the pipe runs inside the s/arm It is a bit awkward.
Hopefully you have fixed the problem, after many years playing with and riding these bikes, TL's TLR, Xr and Cg's when ever I refit a carb Always check the throttle snaps back when I tighten up the flange bolts . Carb to insulator. Fit nylock nuts so they don't have to be too tight. The carb body distorts if you over tighten and the slide Jams open when you least expect it.
I learnt this many years ago and it was very painful!!
I bought one a few years ago from ebay, but not one advertised for a trials bike it was very cheap, I have used it lots of times and not just on gassers.
The shoes in my TLR 200 are much smaller than the ones in my TL125 both have the interchangeable front and rear, Im guessing then that the 250 ones are larger than the 200.
I didn't know that, I thought all brakes worked the same way. Surely Braktec would design a trials brake system to keep the pads close to the disc all the time.
I am surprised no one else who has a new bike with Braktec's hasn't commented, as there must be quite a few bikes with these now. All I wanted to know is, is it a fault or normal ?
Just because its on a trials bike it doesn't guarantee it was designed for a trials bike.
Most newer bikes don't seem to be designed for our wet muddy ground. (south east England)
I clean my bike after most rides, but I don't dismantle it to do it. I don't have the time or feel the need when it is only going to get dirty again next ride.
I check it over usually night before a ride, before I load it in to the van, oil and adjust the chain if needed then ready to go.
I change the gearbox oil every few months depending on how much riding I have done.
Wow that was a complicated answer, you lost me there and I have been riding a while.
Down south ,we have , Beginner, Novice, Intermediate, expert and expert elite,.
If you are not riding for an award, it really doesn't matter what class you ride. Start at the bottom and work your way up.
If you can ride a bike, you can do beginner route. The best thing to do is go and watch something near to you, (ANDY, I think every one should have to state where in the world they are) and see what level you are at. I often hear people say that they are not good enough to ride in competition. That's Rubbish!!
if it's a Trial you are doing, bypass the thermo switch with a piece of wire so the fan is on all the time. just shut the bike off if queuing so you don't over heat the fan.
A lot can happen to an off road bike in 30 years. Bits get swapped, upgraded and some times downgraded. If you
have a complete bike and numbers match your reg documents I don't see much of a problem. I am guessing that the 250 and 350 frames were the same anyway.
