  1. A leaky float needle makes sense but then gas would come out the overflow which doesn't happen. I figured out what the problem was. There is another jet under the idle jet that I didn't see before. Real small with tiny holes that hadn't been cleaned before. After I got that cleaned out, I lowered the needle setting and now it runs correctly.
  2. I bought a used 1995 Fantic Section 250 and the seller had little previous history of the bike. It starts easily, idles fine but when throttle is applied, it bogs down with no power. I thoroughly cleaned the carb and exhaust. I tried different float and needle levels. I am able to get it to run perfect for a short while. I turn off the gas valve and after about 40 seconds it runs perfect for a minute or two, then runs out of gas. It's a Dellorto PHBH26 CD carb with a 118 main jet. Any ideas what the problem is?
  3. Does it help? I've heard people say it's useless and they wire it always wide open. If it at least helps reduce unburnt gas at low rpms that would be good. If it's totally useless can the parts be removed to save weight?
  4. Has any company produced a budget trials bike that costs about a third of let's say a Gas Gas? I'll bet an Asian company could do it and there would be a strong market for it. If you look at the progress of mountain bikes, they now make very inexpensive bikes with full suspension and disc brakes that copy the designs of the more expensive brands. They could make a TY-250 air-cooled mono knock-off with steel rims and such and have interchangeable TY parts for replacements and upgrades. I've heard of a Korean MX bike that copies a Honda.
