baja 250cc carb info badly needed

thefinkid · 12-01-2013, 03:00 PM

hi guys. I'm new to the site and hoping to gain some good info on my bike.
I've got a baja 250cc. doing some work to it at the moment to clean it up and have it running sweet for next summer.

I've hit the first problem- after disassembling the carb to clean it and reassembling it, it is leaking fuel. the float valve is not blocking the fuel feed when the cup fills. so what i need now to solve the problem is an exploded view or a diagram for the carb to ensure i have everything in the right place.

Would anyone here have such a thing or a link to where i might find one.

Thanks in advance

Welcome. My guess is it a keihin clone carb.

Weld is going to suggest buying a $40 mikuni carb.

I might suggest that.

I just saved you the trouble.

Thanks lads, that looks spot on.
hopefully there will be no need for the $40 carb but i will find out over the weekend.

I'll keep you in the loop if the problem persists.

Cheers

Pretty much a honda xr200 carb, but may use different jets. I bought a new carb for less than the parts to repair an xr80 carb.

Thanks for the info lads. Carb is now running perfectly.
Discovered a random washer preventing the float valve from
closing fully.
Next job is to tackle the wiring as the previous owner
made a hack of it. Any wiring diagrams would be
a huge help.
Thanks again

[ the wire colours may be wrong.. but follow the wires and it will work
