dude that is the best carb for the 240 kit, check reeds, check fuel flow, there is a screen from the gas tank to the petcock i believe, and i think you might need to drop your main to like 160, whats your pilot? how wet is the plug or is it?

 

[ridndirty]

the reeds are fine the plug is dry its like its not getting fuel but i know the carb is i have clear fuel line i can see when the bowl is filling it wont even pop off unless i spray carb cleaner in it

 

[blasterkid114]

is any fuel coming out the over flow maybe like a float problem?

 

[ridndirty]

no fuel leaks anywhere

 

[blasterkid114]

could there be a clog somewhere between the bowl of the carb and to where it mixes with air cause if it starts then shuts of there has to be something going on to where the motor isnt getting fuel maybe you just need a new carb?

 

[ridndirty]

It doesn't start at all unless I spray carb cleaner in it it starts for a second and I cleaned out the carb before I put it on the bike

 

[blasterkid114]

ok take a little bit of mixed gas and put it in a spray bottle take your plug of and squirt a little but in you head the put your plug back on it may not work the first time so repeat it a couple of times and see if that works it wored on a ttr 125 that i worked on before

what is the float set at? check your height, what is your air fuel screw set at? go with 1 1/2 turns out, have you checked compression?

but if his float isn't set right wouldn't he be losing gas out of the overflow?

 

[2smoker85]

not if he is not getting enough gas to begin with, if he is getting too much it will come out of the overflow

 

[ridndirty]

Don't know about the float I don't even know how u go about checking the float height and I have my airscrew at 1 and a half havnt checked compression but it is hard to kick and it is a whole brand new top end with 0 minutes on it

 

[2smoker85]

to check the float height tip the carb upside while looking at the bottom, and the float should be even with the bottom of the carb.
