Please help............
I can't remember what you told me to try to help the situation with the LT80.
Something about the pilot jet I think.....
It's a Keihin 20mm carb... I believe a 128 main jet and 58 pilot jet
The problem............
It runs pretty good at higher RPM's
It won't run at idle.
When I let off the throttle, it just slows down and dies.
I can pull up the choke slightly and then it gets enough fuel to keep running
I've cleaned the carb thoroughly......
I've tried adjusting the idle screw....
I've adjusted the needle clip down..Then put it back up at the top.
Anyway, any ideas would be great. THANKS A BUNCH
off to the hardware store I go for materials to make a couple chain tensioners for the LT [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Well was getting ready for the trip this morning and was having a bud break in my bike as i built jumps in the field for the other 250...and the bike just died...we checked gas and had to refill it and we keep trying to kick it over and nothing were getting really good compression as it turns over every time but its just not starting...switched the spark plug with a new one but its not getting any spark...so anyone have some ideas on what to check first? i hate electrical...one thing i truly suck at except for car sound systems hehe well any help is good help hehe off to work my shift ill be here around 9 hopefully if its not busy...peace out

Thanks MB,
It actually has a 50 pilot jet in it, and the other carb I have has a 52.
I'm not sure if there is a 51, but I'm gonna try the 52 in the morning
since I already have that one.
We'll se how it does I guess, not that I'll be able to tell much other than
if it doesn't die.
Gonna try to do some more research on line tonight, try to read up on
the workings of a carburetor (like what the main jet does, what the pilot jet does, what moving the needle clip does, etc etc).
See if I can't learn myself a little bit, not likely, but I'll give it a go [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
