Title: Thanks and an update
Post by: vlxk on August 09, 2015, 12:01:03 pm

So in a previous post I was having trouble a very rich running RM250C2. A couple of you nice folks recommended just dumping the old carb and buying a new one and be done with it. Well I resisted that advice for a while and finally bit the bullet and ordered a new carb from DC Plastics at the same time I ordered fenders.

Well let me tell you, installed the new carb and three kicks it fired and runs great! So that's the thanks. :) I still don't understand how a carb can wear out like that but I guess it can.

The old gal is ready for tuning. I did notice the clutch is a little funny. The fiber plates measured in spec but there just isn't much clutch action there right now, I'll play with it some before dropping more coin on clutch parts.

I'm going to try to link some photos from photobucket...so here goes...before and after.

I'll get some saddle time in over the next week or so, right now she has about 15 minutes of run time.
The front fender and side panels are throwbacks to my teenage years and the late Tony Wynn.

Again, thanks for all the great advice and I'm sure I will be needing more in the future!

Clutch action can be funny on these RM's because the side cover oil cans.

Not much you can do about it other than adjust the cable to the tight end of the scale.
