Ok no worries Bren, I know you've probably got a busy week so no stress as I won't be using it again until February. So only if I'm not going to take precious time off you. Cheers

Yea I do, as I was mentioning in FXR.co.nz I have a workmate that has a XR carb so will see if he will sell it to me. Apparently it just needs a needle surclip, do you have one of those lying around?
From memory I think your carb is a .... na I'll wait till I catch up with you, he he.

Surclip? Nah that sounds too formal, like a tie clip. Just wrap a loose bit of wire around the grooves, I promise it won't be a problem & I'd never set you crook.

Don't need it now. Bought a supposed XR 250 carb off trademe, its a Keihin PD 02A model. Has a butterfly choke using a cable and it's running a 122 main jet, I think, it's where the needle is coming down into. Searched the net like you wouldn't believe to try and get some info and cannot find Jack , there is stuff all on the PD carbs. Will just have to try it and go from there.

[F5 Dave]

erm, what I wrote was of course tongue in cheek. Yes you will have to try it, no one will be able to tell you a number jet to use. There will be plenty of generic info on jetting carbs, try Xr type websites so you don't get confused with CV roadbike carbs. Obviously take it apart & clean it before use.

I have the standard muffler with 3 13mm holes drilled in the end for the moment. Will replace it when I get something cheap off TM.
