    Carbs is carbs. Work on anythign if the sizing and jetting is right. Just a matter of mountings. I've got spare Mikunis for RZ250 and T500 bikes (125 and 250 cc cylinders). No idea how theyed go for jetting though.

    They try rejecting it, like a kidney transplant, but with plenty of love and the right medicine it will be fine.......Carbs are not branded like bikes but are made for bike companys by carb manufacturers.

    Its dawned on me, my jetting will not work on a std FXR, I don't run a air fiter and have a non standard exhaust. But standard jetting will be close. The pumper on a CB carb will probally drown the poor wee FXR.

    Good luck.

    2 stroke emution tubes are different to cope with twice as many induction cycles, I've never got a 2 stroke carb running right on a 4 stroke (but I'm bordering on hopeless).

    So you richened up the stock XL250 settings? What main jet are you running? More than 122?

    It's still ideal to get hold of a stock FXR carb, or fix the existing one. Otherwise it'll become a hassle... EJ a few months down the track complaining because he can't start the bike in the middle of winter without draining the battery etc. Manufacturers usually get it right.

    Thats why the GN is the best option......fit forget.......no fettling needed except giving it a clean.

    My options. Help me decide.

    • Buy a GN 250 Carb
    • Buy the wreck
    • Buy other 250cc Carb and tune it

    Should I get the wreck?
    I'll do a search for a GN250 carb around the wreckers too.

    Get the wreck and swap out all the best bits and sell to recoup the $$$$'s it may end up a free fix or pretty cheap.

    unless you have a place to keep it and time to part it, don't buy the wreck (or buy it and gift me all the leftovers once your bike is finished)

    just chase down an FXR or GN carb

    anything with an accelerator pump will flood the bike. those are for big bores to stop them lagging and get a decent response from them.

    Just saw this while doing a bit of a research...

    http://www.motorbikeparts.co.nz/prod...product_id=257

    4 Carbs!

    Then I thought, really I am lucky to have a single cylinder, single carb bike

    Lets say I got the foam and the carb. Now when can we put it back together?
