africatwin Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Having repacked my middle box ive still got a knock on the engine it seems to knock on the top of the stroke so im totaly baffled as there is no play in the big end or small end so all thats left is the piston to replace even though it looks ok . Ive read where a dt250 or a it250 piston will fit as they are the same as a ty250mono piston but a lot cheaper if so is there a certain year for each piston that will fit any help would be appreciated as im totaly baffaled !!!

lineaway Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 You can have a knock just being lean on the pilot jet. You might try drilling out your own jet if you have a few spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugheugh Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Hi I've been having the same problem on a Villiers 250 engine fitted with electronic ignition and a Mikuni 26mm carb (got fed up with the 'proper' Villiers carb p____g fuel everywhere. Pulls off the Bottom end beautifully but 'tinkles' loudly in the midrange (road work) and is very flat. Pressing the choke lever down cures this but the engine fluffs when the revs drop. I've been given the phone number of a specialist called Allens Carbs 01934 836733. Not had time to contact them yet but looking to reduce the flow of air through the emulsion tube (the bit that the needle moves through) in order to richen the mixture. Hope this phone number helps.
