my 250 odyssey has a carb problem i think...... when going up hills or sometimes when you hit it hard it sounds like it wants to go but it cant. its hard to descripe, its not bogging or cuting out but it sounds different than normal and has a little less power when it does this. any info appreciated

 

You might try checking your float level.

 

hey my odessy was doing the same thing it could be either a fule pump or your carb float is hanging up . but now a question for u, do u know where i can find raceing or high performance clutches for mine it is an 83 with 250 cc e mail me and let me know at mpw21glk@yahoo.com

 

Here are a few places to get clutches. Comet has a kit for the FL250 that includes the drive and driven clutches and a wider belt. The kit comes with either the 94C or the 102C clutch. Both are tunable, but the 102C is a better design.

whats the float level supposed to be? its not entirely stock, its bored .2 over w/ a weisco piston, new Mikuni fuel pump and Uni air filter? thats basically all for preformance. could it be the jets? thanks for any info

 

Not sure what it is supposed to be. It is probably too high. When you are going up hill, it it flooding the machine because it lets more fuel in. Lower the float level a little (bend the tab on the needle up a bit) and see how it does.

 

thanks for the info Livewire, ill try it out and let you know how it goes
