I have one just like it and it is the fastest 250  I have riding in a longtime.

Thanks guys. I bought the manual but there must be a separate manual for the suspension because it is not in it.

Sounds like the ignition side crank seal.

On my 82 250 the quish must be set using different thickness base gaskits or it will ping. Gary

I have alot of pics for the bike. I can email them to you if your interested. It has all new plastic and decals. Gary in tx.

I have been riding it and leaving the lever at half way anb that is the meanest 250 I have ever riding. Wow its like my 400B Can am in power. And she is runing a brown plug using prem pump gas and maxama 927 oil at 30:1 so i guess thats how im suppost to use it???

What ever you do dont let that bike run out of gas because you will have a WOT issue for about 30-40 sec. My brother in law had that bike and it happened to him multiple times and its because the bike burns a tank of gas fairly quick and before you know it your on a 400cc rocket that you cant shut off.That bike is a true widow maker.

I think what Im going to do is pull the back end off and then I can see where the cable needs to be at max when full throttle so I can get rid of the lean problem. I think the lever base lets the small slide go to far inside the main slide and the cavity is upsetting the mixture and air ratio.

The main problem im having with this carb is the choke cable or adjustment of the choke is wrong period.The lever has a mark on it and I know it needs to be alined with the base somewhere so the small slide is in the correct place in the main slide.maybe the base is missing the stop?. When I pull the choke up the bike lopes at idle. Gary Smith

The way they did the air boot on this bike makes me feel that there must have been changes in the bike when they were in production.My bike was built in Jan.82 Anyway I have all the manuals and they dont show the transition. Gary Smith

The bike is a 82 KTM 250. Gary

Thanks mike, do you know if there is some sort of bushing that goes between the big air boot and the small rubber transition behind the carb? Gary

There is a shift shaft on ebay rite now

Thanks Big Mac
