Yamaha Carb(s) Rebuild??

[jeff6645]

I agree not that hard to do yourself. I just finished cleaning my Yamaha 250 yesterday; motor wouldn't run more than 1400 RPM, now runs great. I just clean them and replaced. Cost $35.00 and my time.

Some additional tips:
Count the number of turns it takes to screw in the adjustment screw (a soft set - not tight - just till you feel it touch) write this info down and set to same setting when complete. On my motor 3 one side were all set to 1 1/4 turns and the 3 on the other side were all set to 1 turn back from soft set, I think factory for mine is 1 1/4 yours may be different.

Don't disassemble the linkage, just snap off and set aside.

Make sure to get same cab back in the same location.

Check the gas lines for breaks or other defects and replace as needed. Have plenty of zip ties on hand.

Good clean fuel is also a must.

Hope this helps...
