gstfts Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Greetings, I am looking for a stock carb for a '74 TY250A. If anyone has one they want to part with or know who I might contact to find one ( I know that BJRacing has a nice set up, but that is my last resort) please let me know. Thanks!

terry Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 B&J probably has a stock carb around somewhere too. I'd call Bob first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin j Posted August 19, 2005 Report Share Posted August 19, 2005 I had a TY A model with (TK?) carb. FLoats leaked, needle & seat were worn, and I could not find parts from Yam. I put Bob's Mikuni kit on it. Spendy at the time, As I recall $250 put into a $500 motorcycle, but it did make a huge difference. Started better, jetted cleanly, better response, etc etc. Granted, comparing slowly wearing out old carb to new fresh carb, so I can't comment on the change from stock carb to the Mik design. Overall, though I would expect any old stock carb still around would likley be worn slide, worn floats, etc. If the bike looks good and I plannd on keeping it, I would cough up and spend the money for the new Mikuni kit again. Might try ebay if no hurry. There are often TY carbs going through there. k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstfts Posted August 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2005 Thanks for the info Kevin. The more I think about it, the more I am thinking the Mikuni is the way I am going to go. At least there would be parts available readily for it. Carb and throttle assy are $140 US from B&J which isnt bad and another $( for a plug for the Autolube which has been removed. This bike is one I bought from the original owner (a grade school buddy who bought it new in '76) I bought it in '78 from him, sold it to another friend and he has had it since. It hasn't run in 15 years because someone where he worked took the carb to get another bike running. His wife made him clean out the garage so he gave it back to me. Now I am trying to get it running again. The bike is pretty much all there and most small stuff is stilll avalialble from Yamaha Part. So one of these days I'll get it going again.
