Help needed

[Impulse986]

Can barely make it up a 3 inch hill climb balls 2 the walls , rolling start it moves slower than my old lt 230 , my old blaster wouldnt crack band unless it was 3 1/2 turns out , but it was snappy my new one won't stay down pulling 1st second into third I can't steer if I get on it , 1/4 throttle to full , 1/4 to keep running

Here it is

That thing sounds really rich in the vid. Is the air filter clean? If this thing is all stock sounds like it has a huge main jet in it. Pull the plug and look at it and see what it looks like.

 

[Ready2rev]

is it all stock?

 

[Impulse986]

As far as I know it is , main jet no number , stock exhaust , haven't looked at piston yet , stock jug n head, have a spare carb with a 250 main

 

[Impulse986]

Air Fliter is clean as a whistle

 

[yamahaman126]

230 is a stock main. You might try to 250 just to see if anything changes. I'd get a 230 and put in it and see what that does no matter what.

 

[Ready2rev]

well the stock carb setting should be 230 main jet, needle set at 2nd clip from the top, 1 1/2 turns out on the air screw. i would throw that 250 jet in see if that helps. take the airfilter cover off to.

 

[Ready2rev]

does sound boggish. try turning out the air screw first.

its not the top end.. it fires
does pulling the choke affect it at all?

After buying a rebuild kit for my carb, I saw the new main jet was stamped on the side,
insted of on the top. But while ordering i picked up a oem larger jet that was stamped
on the top. so if no stamp your carb might have been molested.

give it a good going over.

I have a bunch of jets and some are stamped on the bottom, some on the side.

I've been having issues with mine too, and just throwing in a new pilot jet helped a lot. I cleaned the old one out, and could see through it, but not as well as i could see through the fresh one.

Good luck!

Also, if you're on a budget and the bike is not holding compression, and if you can afford a top end gasket kit and some rings, you could just throw new rings on there if the piston and cylinder aren't bad. Rings usually wear out before the actual piston/cylinder do. Have the cylinder honed though, which just makes new scratches for the rings to seat with. A local dealership honed my cylinder for 5 bucks. Rings were like 30 (damn factory yamaha parts!!) and I got a gasket kit for probably 30 as well.
