devo8 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Share Posted December 2, 2014 I found on my 2012 290 that the nipple in the Reed case leaked causing the fuel pump to not work correctly ( i.e. the mixture leaned out , which made the throttle like an on /off switch with not a lot of modulation.also it was a pain in the a** to start. the old nipple was cut down and drilled out and a new nipple fitted , after this was done the carb needle was dropped a couple off clicks as it was over fuelling, the bike is now a totally different machine so controllable . I have Chris at Splat shop to thank for diagnostic , Rob , how are you finding the 2015 300 compared to your 2012 290? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
