Whats wrong w/ my carb?
« on: February 13, 2014, 06:10:31 pm »
im having trouble keeping my 88 250 running. it has a completely stock engine and carburetor. ever since I put on the vforce 3s and the fmf fatty, it only wants to run with the choke on. it only takes about 1/8 of an inch of choke and my choke is spring loaded so it falls back when I let go. I think I need bigger jets, but im looking for a second opinion.

the carb is also puking gas out of the bottom, so I might need a rebuild kit.(or just a new carb)

Was it stock before? But you will need to rejet it if you swapped to fmf and vf3 reeds.

rebuild the carb first before you go changing jets.
