sarah Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 I have a 04 Beta 270 but it seems to have no power and doesn't clean out! anyone any ideas what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonsurge Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Have you tried all the usual stuff? Specifically: Whip the carb off and give it a good clean making sure all the jets are clear. Also, make sure the air filter is in reasonable nick and not clogged (if possible, put a new one in). New plug. Might also be worth repacking the silencer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bilco Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 long shot.whats your compression like,could be your bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Compressions fine, it sounds alright when i first start it up but then it oils up straight away and just has no power at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 What notch is the needle set at? Really clogged up mid box can cause bad fowling, worth giving it a good clean along with the front pipe. As bilco said check the compression as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Never changed the needle since new, what should it be at? and what jets should be in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the addict Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Standard jets are 30 and 150, needle setting is middle, most of us lean the needle one notch from new. I have 27.5 pilot and 145 main as mine was bogging and running too rich from new, it has cured the running but be carefull as it may make other bikes too lean. Use premium pump fuel and I use 65ml of TTS in 5 litres, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarah Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 ok thanks, i normally have 70ml of oil in 5 litres of fuel. My plug is always black, which points to it being too rich! It has never ran right even from new! Had problems with stators but the latest ones an 06 one and seems fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think hes on about the oil/fuel mix I run my 250 at 75/1 with TTS but heres a calculator thanks too the guys down South HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 is what not closer to 80/1? no am defnitly not over oiling my filter and i change it every week! 4 Ltrs of fuel and 50ml of oil will make it 80/1 i think you are running on the rich side, some even say run it at 90-100/1. Not the soal problem but wouldn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
