Yea mine is the same way ... I have to give it some throttle and twist it a little or it will die . But once I hit a few lights it idles on its own so look at this pic
. Sorry it's sideways .. I see the idle screw obviously but what is the screw at the bottom towards the bowl is there a air fuel mixture screw??

Oh hey also what's up with not being able to trip a light or get out of a gate in my condo complex?? My car opens gate if I pull up close to it.. but not the tt 250.. does it not weigh enough to trip lights to green and open gates

When I lived in Vegas I sometimes experienced fluctuating idle speeds during the summer months. As Culcune mentioned, get access to your idle mixture screw if you haven't already. I have always adjusted the idle mixture first and only then do I set the idle speed with the throttle cable adjustments. Trying to rely on throttle cable adjustments alone might just mask the symptoms. I would try and make adjustments in the early morning when temps have cooled off a little if possible.

The screw I think you are mentioning is the one on the bottom of the bowl? If so that is used to drain the carburetor for removal or servicing.

If your gate uses a pressure sensor under the asphalt the bike probably won't weigh enough to open it. Maybe find a big friend willing to ride 2-up with you? Good Luck.

I have mine on the shelf. I'll get a pic of it tonight.

thanks 2LZ.... I think the air/mixture screw is the one under the cap directly left of the idle screw... im not sure which screw is on the bottom of the bowl.. also how do I get the cover off on the air mixture screw?

You have to carefully drill through the cap without hitting the screw underneath. Then thread a small machine screw into the hole and pull it out with pliers. There isn't much holding the cap in there. It's just a pain to get out.

Here you go !! Chris here is my carb tt 250 pics from both sides so where is the idle mixture screw

You can see the shroud around the pilot mixture screw in your first pic. It has a blue mark on it.
