August 3, 201016 yr im a biginer on bikes played with car and tractor engiece ect but not many bikes. iv been playing with my 1996 250 again today fitted new plug ect and intake manifold as old one cracked but still it lacks power and wount idol off choke fine on choke just soots the plug up after a while. questions i have are i removed the covers on the side of the engine as you sit on the bike the left side plastic cover and looked dry with no oil leeking inther (is this the mag side) and the other side (right side as you are sat on the bike) the clutch side and should this be full of oil? a gray oil at that? there is a seal on the caseing so looks like oil might be supost to be there but im just checking.
August 3, 201016 yr Yep, oil on the clutch side, get some fresh popped in and the dry side is the mag side. The not idling is probably just the carb needing a clean. I'd take it off and clean the jets and that.
August 3, 201016 yr Author cleaned the car 3 times 3rd time knoticed the seal of one of the brass jets (the long one) the o ring was damaged replaced this and still the same so given up and doing the folk seals as we speak
August 11, 201016 yr Any joy getting it running? Has to be something to do with the carb if it'll run on choke. The idle circuit must have a blockage somewhere or the carb is just way out of adjustment.
