1978 Yamaha TY250 No Power

Featured Replies

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help...

I have a 1978 TY250, but it's very flat when accelerating from the bottom. I have taken the flywheel weight off and that made a difference, but it's still quite flat and needs livening up.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks.

Either a blocked exhaust or its worn out.Don't expect it to be like a modern Gas Gas, but if they are in good shape they are fine,plenty of power for twinshock trials.

Timing and carb. , a 78 should be equipped with a Mikuni carb normally reliable, but if it's worn out it can mean trouble. I run my B model with the carb a LITTLE on the lean side, I insist little. from memory I setup the timing at 3.2mm BTD. Also I ran for a long time with a 0.005 inch tick head gasket, now back to original.

And follow JohnV8 advise
