Yea I don't say things very well but that's what I was getting at. You need to make sure one thing is "perfect" before moving on to the next problem. Otherwise you can never be sure what the actual problem is.

I totally disagree. One problem can give symptoms in different systems. For example. I had a guy that was 100% sure his cooling system was f'ed. Changed everypart in the cooling system, gauges still read it was overheating. Turned out to be an electrical problem. Just because it's running rough doesn't mean it's the carb. |

Carbs can be kinda touchy if someone doesn't know what they are doing. Just because he thinks it's perfect, doesn't mean it is. Time to get a good manual.

I can tell you that the newer looking carb the float and float valve are two separate pieces, plastic and metal respectively. Its free floating with no spring. On the older carb its a different set up and the float valve appears to be spring loaded. ________ YAMAHA IT250H SPECIFICATIONS Last edited by Kaneman; 05-09-2011 at 08:14 PM.. |

The quickie rule on floats is: With the needle valve in the seat and float installed, turn it upside down and hold the float level. The adjusting tang should just touch the needle without compressing it.
If the tang is pressing on the needle valve, gently bend the tab until it just touches with the float level. If there is a gap when the float is level, bend it the other way until it lightly touches. Just make sure it is not installed upside down before you start bending things... ![]() You might also hold the float under in a cup of water for a few minutes and make sure it doesn't try to fill itself with said liquid. If you see bubbles or hear/feel water in the float you will need one that doesn't leak. Usually if it is level, it will work fine and you can cross that off the list. But if you must do it right... the bottom (top when it is upside down) should measure 15.5mm above the gasket surface, and the the pilot air screw should be 1.5 turns out from light bottom. The spark plug should be an NGK C7HS gaped at .028, and the idle speed is 1200RPM. |

You should also learn to read the spark plug coloring to see if the engine is running rich or not...
