Looks like you also have a head gasket seeping oil in those pics. That's why there's an oil film there where the head meets the jug.

I will go through the carb and make sure it is set like that. If I remember correctly, The needle is set at the bottom, not the middle, I'll change that. I'll also go get a set of feeler gauges and adjust the valves, the blue one I'm working on has about 600 miles on it so it could be the valves. If all else fails ill send the carb back and find something else that will work I guess. |

For some reason the mikuni clones seem to usually come with the needle set in the richest position. I can only assume this is done to help prevent people destroying their engines from a too lean condition. I am running a 30 pilot, needle centered, and 110 main jet to start on my stock bike. It may be a wee bit on the rich side, but not overly so.

or in my case it was the little bolt on the back of the head that had loosened a little. i thought it was a valve cover leak.

OK, good to know. You've already checked that the slide operates correctly? Goes all the way up, and drops like a French Guillotene? This Mikuni that you have is different than the ones I'm familiar with. When I recommended the Mikuni, I was refering to the ones that had a brass screw on the right side for mixture, and a brass screw on the left side for idle speed. The quality of the castings on the one with the phillips headed screws are not as good as the brass screwed ones. May be a different manufacturer. Check the inside for casting flash, and machining swarf in the jets, including the needle jet. The needle jet is the one that the main jet screws into the bottom of. I'd even look for scratches on the needle it self. China doesn't have trade mark laws like we have. They can hang any name they want to on their product....ARH

Hi guys, newbie here. Does anyone know which speedo cable works as a replacement for the hawk 250? I'm hoping for a Honda/other part number. I checked theRPS.net and a new stock one is $45 which seems steep. I'm also going to call motion pro to see if they have anything stock that matches.
Mine got caught on my horn while I was in the woods and is now kinked pretty impressively. Any help is appreciated, thanks! |
