rich or lean?
The idle speed raises when the engine gets hotter, is this an indication of being to lean or rich? The bike generally runs good. Sometimes it stutters then clears at full throttle when under load, like up a steep climb.
Heres's what Im running. 2007 klx 250s bill blue mikuni pumper carb needle 3rd slot down from top pilot 142.5 airscrew about 2.5 turns main 142 no lid on airbag wmf q4 slip on stock header foam air filter mcm done Thanks for any help |
What elevation?

In a very broad generalization, when a carbed engine tends to idle up as it warms up, it points to a lean idle/pilot circuit condition. There are exceptions of course.
I have a TM36-68 carb on mine. I recall Bill uses the 34mm version of this. I'm not recognizing the part you describe as 142.5 "pilot". Regardless, it's pretty tough to diagnose another's carb issue on the internet, but more detailed info usually results in better results. Part of the problem might be the airbag on your KLX blocking you airbox intake opening.:D |
I have a BB33 @ 3300' and my pilot jet is 25% of the main. I assume you miss typed the 42.5 as 142.5.
I would either try a larger main or smaller pilot jet. |
Umm yep I'll remove the airbag from the airbox
Probably should be a 42.5 pilot jet. But if the air crew is out about 2.5 turns isn't that an indication that the pilot jet is correct? Altitude is from 1000' to 4000'. |
I am running my screw about 3/4-1 out, depending on altitude.
