daymoiom Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share 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.

betabonkers Posted November 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 call your self betabonkers the beta fonderler & you dont know the differance between the tickover & the air screw?paul.............by air screw do you mean mixture screw, i thought that was the smaller black one & the big one with the wire on was tickover? but hey, what do i know? i will have to consult with my machanic I thought i was your mechanic.

amiller Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share 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?

eddie_lejeune Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 mine didnt fall off i had it off to fix the float, my carb wont be off again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
housty Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share 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 .
