we drove it and runs ,,but with choke all off the throttle response is non responsive but if i pull the choke out a little it gets response and shifts well but can get bogged down if the air vent is covered slightly with choke all off runs better
.any help is appreciated ,,,dont what else to do ..could valves need adjusted ? the intake ? it idles starts and runs shifts .runs better with choke out driving but can bog down,,see previous responses and help also here ,,,thanks all !

I'm going to jump in here. I have read the entire thread. I worked on one of these a while back, and what I found was that the 250 would not take throttle ( hesitate and sometimes die ) with the jet needle in the third position ( stock ). What I ended up doing was installing the clip in the 5th position, that is, clip all the way at the bottom, raising the needle as high as it would go. It greatly improved it but it actually needed a washer under the clip as well, but the owner was happy with it. And, are you 100% sure the carb intake does not have a crack in it....these are a terrible design and known to crack.

Have you checked the compression?

, not the needle jet

.....Also, I recommend a compression test as I mentioned before....low compression can cause a "bog" as well....
