Model: GasGas TXT Racing 125, 2018
Carb: Dellorto PHBL 26 BS
I have just bought this bike & am struggling to adjust the carb so that it runs cleanly.
The fuel screw needs to be quite far out (4.5 turns) to get it to start reliably, & the idle itself sounds fine, but off-idle (bottom 1/8th throttle) doesn't pick up clean with this setting & the needle in standard position (3rd from top clip). If I drop the needle the pickup cleans up a bit, but at any needle setting the engine sounds raggy at around 1/4 throttle. Returns to idle ok & w/o pinging. Fully open it sounds fine.
Jetting is I think standard, but the needle looks scored & doesn't sit absolutely centred in the emulsion tube. Plug looks slightly dark but not too bad.
It's really just the problem in the pickup from idle & constant running up to 1/4 throttle - which is where I'm riding most of the time ofc. Means I'm having to work the clutch harder than I'd prefer.
Any advice on how I could tune this very welcome. Thanks in advance.
