daymoiom Report post Posted November 25, 2007 (edited) whats wrong with yours? my mates runs great, its standad ? I dunno its runs to rich all the time, the needle was right up when i got it so ive dropped it two levels!! just ask your mate when he next takes his carb off what jets he is using and what level the needle is on so i can compare!!!

Cheers Daymo ask him yourself its betabonkers (the thread starter) although i dont think he will be taking it off again in a hurry (its a standad 270 ) & the carb is as standad, he only took it off to clean.

amiller Report post Posted December 3, 2007 How different is the new carb set up space wise?. I have not got my 08 yet. Wont be any riding for several months now. People would say the old set up was impossible to work on but I found that if you new what you were doing it was simple and quick. Is there any big difference now?

housty Report post Posted February 27, 2008 (edited) The one with the wire going round to the back is the mixture screw, and the smaller black one is the tick over. I am having some porblems with my 08 250 ever since I put the Boyesen reeds in it has run rich but up to then it was spot on. I think the wire on the mixture screw is just because it is a Kehin carb and theyre just adapted from the shercos and gassers which are on the other side of the bike .
