fuel is sucked through this main jet, and mixed with the incoming air that is creating the vacuum or low pressure effect in the throat of the carb. Usually somewhere in the bottom of the bowl resides the main jet. The fuel enters the bowl from the tank through a small passage until the floats float high enough in the bowl to force the fuel shut-off needle into the passage and shut the fuel off to the bowl. The parts of the carburetor always include a main jet, fuel bowl, fuel shut-off needle, floats, some sort of mixture screw, and an idle adjustment. Although this ideal mixture is impossible to reach at all times, the different functioning parts of a carburetor work at all engine speeds and loads to try to create this mixture to the engine for a proper burn. The purpose of the carburetor is to provide the combustion chamber with the proper ratio of fuel to air or the' Stoich Mixture '. and what effect jetting has on a carburetor.

I won't try to do a comprehensive explanation, just enough to understand why jetting is so important. Just seems that a 10 idle jet may not even fix it, and even then that's REALLY low I'd think.ĮDIT: Also should mention that when keeping a steady throttle position, it runs fine, but then starts to show signs of gurgling out again, so I have to up the RPM to keep it fluid.The following was done on a 2001 CR250 Dirt Bikeįirst, a VERY brief explanation of how a carburetor works might be helpful for some. Some people say that's just how it is because it's variated, but at this rate i'm going to go through 3 clutches this summer.Might think about tuning down my clutch springs a bit. Should I try a 10 idle jet? I dropped in a 15 and 30 and they both made it more rich. Never go above 360 degrees when riding around, 415/420 when blasting. When riding around I have to full throttle else it gurgles and almost dies out. Spark plug is brown, indicates 'perfect'. I throw on an air filter or screw in the air screw and it gets way too rich.

I've read a couple things, along with the official mikuni manual, and all signs points to it being too rich. It gurgles between 0-1/2 throttle, but 1/2 to full is fine, so I've got literally wide open throttle this after every stop to make it run smoothly. I cannot get the low RPM's to run right on this.
