Hey, cool. You might be one of the few (if not the only) member running the TM36-68 on stock bore.
I still haven't installed mine. Been sitting in my garage for 2 months now.

I've had the 331cc kit installed for a while, and just haven't had time to put the pumper carb on yet.

I'd skip the dyno jet kit and contactwww.motorcyclecarbs.com they set me up with a 36-68 TM ON MY STOCK BORE 250. It works awesome. Note I have a k&n filter no lid, and hmf pipe 14/53t ratio. I did the dyno jet and slides and and and... I wish I had of just brought the carb first save a step or two

unless you've got the $400-$600 to plunk down on a pumper carb, the jet kit will work perfectly for his needs. Only place a pumper carb really outshines the stocker is when you're off-roading with obstacles you need to wheelie over or hitting jumps or dropoffs where the front wheel needs lofted "right now", and you need that instant hit of power. For most occasions, the stocker with recommended mods will work just fine for the general adventurer.

Me personnaly I wouldnt do the carb. I would run what I had with the mods. unless i found a carb really cheap I wouldnt install it on my bike. I love the way my bike rides and the way it starts now. If u fool with changin the carb u might not have a good running bike like u do with the carb that is on there. They had a reason when they chose the cvk34 for the klx250 Cause it works.

So, the advice is that if I only made the changes that I outlined and have no plans to change the pipe or totally remove the airbox lid, then I shouldn't bother installing the Dynajet kit?
If not, do I bother doing anything to thecarb?
If not, who wants to buy a Dynajet kit?
Thanks, Glen

Just checking again -if the dynajet kit won't make a difference, it probably isn't worth the hassle to install?

The bike is jetted lean from the factory and you put a hole in the rear baffle and put in a larger snorkel. I'd got up at least one jet size to give it some more fuel. It will run stronger, start easier, and run a bit cooler if you do.

Its definitely worth installing but you have to open up the breathing on the intake *and* the exhaust for best results. Keep an eye out for a slip-on or a full used KLX300 exhaust. More air/fuel in needs more room to get out the exhaust or you create a bottleneck.
