[QUOTE="TxCr250, post: 1268334, member: 71878"] Since this bike isn't new, before you go twisting fuel screws on your carb you need to first make sure the floats in the carb are set to the proper level. Then adjust your needle and fine tune it with the jets. Ideally you want your plug to have a Hershey bar "chocolate" brown color to it. If it's black and wet you're too rich, if it's tan/white then you're way too lean. 2nd, if you can push down on your kickstarter and turn your bike over with hand rather easily, I would suggest getting a compression check, it may be time for a new top end. Keep your air filter clean and you should be riding for a long time!! Enjoy the new bike and take it easy until you get used to the power delivery. Blipping the throttle on a 250 2smoke can put you on your back real quick! BRAAAAAAAAP! 8) [/QUOTE]
