Some pictures of Saturday before the rain came down and we all went soft and headed for drier places.

Was a dryish drive home and gorgeous out west by the time we got here. Recon the track is probably still wet though.

Is that Pumba looking for some lost HP, he knows it's there somewhere........

**bucketracer** · 15th May 2010, 16:19

Bugger my bike shrunk in the rain.........

**Ray LeCheminant** · 15th May 2010, 16:42

CARB (Anyone got a working spare.......)

Gonna pop along to the track tomorrow....bike still not ready...but thought we take a look see anyway...

I am on the hunt for a carb.....carbs have never been my strongest point....I cannot get this GN250 carb working.....for love or money...

Anyone got a GOOD KNOWN WORKING solution that want to part with for the right money?

Cheers

Ray

Couldnt find it in the toolbox. About to start looking down the back of the couch in pure desperation because I havent got a clue where it went.

What is the trouble with your current one? Ill be using mine to get to the track but depends whats wrong with it, might be temp fixable? I managed to get my 125cc carb running until replaced...Is everyone stil racing tomorrow rain or shine? I couldnt make it to watch practise today so will be there tomorrow to check it out while I figure out my bike hopfully for next time!!!but probably more like july

JUst can't keep it running....gave the carb a good clean out, need a seat look ok....noticed that the main jet emulsion tube was a bit sludgy, so that got the treatment too.....

Now this is gonna sound dumb- but in the bowel, in front of the mainjet, on the intake manifold side, there appears to be another much smaller jet - but it is 100% blocked.....surely this is not right?

cool was just checking will be my first time watching so wanted to make sure as Im a wee ways away... not too far though thats for sure! Ive been looking forward to it for a while

**Pumba** · 15th May 2010, 20:42

On the intake side, I am not familiar with the layout of the GN carb but I would assume that is your pilot jet. If that is blocked well it wouldnt idle and the bike would not run bellow about 1/4 throttle

**scooute** · 15th May 2010, 21:11

Sorry was distracted by a clash between police and a group of youths outside my house... 2 arrested lol, anywho Im not a mechanic but sounds like pumbas onto somthing there, is this the jet that connects to the mix control screw... could be blocking fuel or air flow? again I reinforse Im not a mechanic just a guy who learns by taking things apart and studying them... have not studies my Gn carb yet.. just tokk my 125cc old carb apart and going off that at the min... hope we can get tot the bottom of this, weres a mechanic when you need one eh?
