I purchased my 250F in back in april. Back then it was hard to start, but I was still able to kick start it after 10-20 times.
I live in NC where the elevation is approx 900' and now that summer is here the humidity is 75%-90%. The only way that I can get my bike to start is to push start it.
The bike is stock and the only things that I have tried to adjust are the pilot screw. I have gone from 1 1/2 to 4 turns out and it still does not start. It seems to run best at 31/2 to 4 turns out. Is this too much? I also tried to change the clip position on the needle jet. When it was at (pos 3) I could not tell any difference, when it was at (pos 5) I did notice that it took longer to decellerate.
I am using 93 pump gas and do have some backfire (or popping) on slowdown. The plug is tan to light brown in color.
This is my first 4stroke and I feel that I do not know anything about this bike so any help ould be greatly appriciated.
I would really like to understand how to get this bike running for my current conditions and then also understand what I need to do when it gets cold and less humid.
