DT125R 1994 Running Project

[terry.tz]

rebuilt the carb last night still not rebuilt to perfection far from it some screws were f!cked I replaced what I could il need to get some new ones ideally but the screws I put back on are good there was no gasket for the front of the carb and mine is knackered its sitting ok though ill replace when I do it fully with new screws etc the rebuild kit came with a different needle to the original I eyed them up and the highest setting was equal to the second from bottom that mine was on taper was different to couldn't see the main jet size I had 210 and 225 I put 210 in its now fitted and seems to be running fine might be a bit lean but its reving cleanly all the way through so it seems anyway gonna take it for a run later and see what the plug tells me and if my problem at high revs has been solved

@terry-tz you'll want atleast a 230-240 main with Romeu pipe mate, I run a 250, but have snorkel removed from airbox.

[terry.tz]

@Glynn123 ill see how she runs first but think ill be putting that 225 in but she runs good

@terry-tz was that wide open throttle ? Looks a tad rich to me.

[terry.tz]

@calum bare in mind its a used plug pretty new though and was in a bit ricker state mainly wide open hangs I tad in the middle think I might be a tad rich on the needle or the taper's not that great

[Calum]

I would rather err on the side of tad rich than lean lol.

[terry.tz]

any suggestions I'm still having problems with what I thought was full throttle when I'm in 5 gear it bogs seems to be any throttle now before I cleaned the carb it was funny in all gears and 3/4 plus throttle I no there very different symptoms but I'm very sure its the same problem

[terry.tz]

@calum ye me to but it's hanging a bit too much but I'm going to wait to see what the plugs like in a few days and try to solve my other problem first

[declan]

@glynn123 is that the same for other pipes I have a 210 with a full exhaust

[Glynn123]

@declan yeah mate, usually they like a 240 on a full system, I know mine was definetely way lean when it had a 210

[Calum]

@glynn123 Funny, my DEP was sound on 210 main. It was actually when I fitted a Wøssner Piston did I find jetting an issue, think I needed 280 main in the end to get the jetting sorted. It should be done a bike per bike basis ideally.

[terry.tz]

@declan just see what you plug says

[terry.tz]

@calum wow 210 to a 280 that's some big jump how did the performance change

[Calum]

@terry-tz I can't say I noticed a change when I upjetted it, it was purely to get it to not bog out.

Bit difference with a DEP pipe though.

[Glynn123]

@calum that's weird, I'm running a wossner piston with 250 main, but I suppose you run open filter rather than airbox don't you?

[terry.tz]

@calum fair enough

[Calum]

@glynn123 This was way back when. I may have ran the 3MBP barrel. But whatever it was, I was having difficulty getting the jetting spot on.

[terry.tz]

where is to buy main jets from don't want China specials

[terry.tz]

and anyone know where I can get the front gasket from for the carb
