Yamaha BR250F - Low Speed Tuning; MID-Range and High Speed Tuning

4. Slowly loosen slow adjuster. As the slow
adjuster is loosened,
the mixture will
become leaner and engine rpm will
in-
crease. Adjust the slow adjuster to attain
the highest posstble engine speed.
5. Finally,
turn the throttle stop screw
counterclockwise so
that the engine runs
at 1,100 rpm.
Idle speed: 1,100
± 100 rpm
1. Throttle stop screw
NOTE: _
If the engine shows poor performance in high
elevations or in an extremely cold area or
when it is suddenly accelerated or run
at low
speeds, proceed as follows:
a. Replace
the slow jet according to operat-
ing conditions.
Standard slow jet: # 78
F. Mid-range and High Speed Tuning
No adjustment is normally required,
but
adjustment is sometimes necessary depending
on temperatures and/or altitude.
Mid-range speed and high-speed tuning (from
1/4 to full-throttle) can be done by adjusting
the main jet.
1. Run
the engine at high speeds, and make
sure
the engine operates smoothly.
2. Check
the spark plug. The main jet
should be adjusted on the basis of the
following table. (Refer to spark plug
color samples.)
Standard main jet:
# 108
Spark plug color
No.1
Good (Carburetor is turned properly.)
No.2
Bad (Mixture is too rich.l
Replace main jet with one-step small one.
No.3
Bad (Mixture is too lean.)
Replace main jet with one-step larger one.
Bad (Due
to too lean a mixture, piston is
damaged or seized.)
No.4
Replace the piston and spark plug.
Tune
the carburetor again starting with
low-speed tuning.
Bad (Due to
too lean a mixture,
the
engine knocks.)
Check
the piston for holes or seizu reo
No.5
Check the cooling system, gasoline octane
rating, and ignition timing. After replac-
ing the spark plug,
tune the carburetor
again starting with low-speed tuning.
Bad (Due
to lean a mixture, the spark
plug melts.]
Check
the piston for holes or seizure.
No.6
Check the cool ing system, gasoline octane
rating,
and ignition timing. After replac-
ing
the spark plug with colder type, tune
the carburetor again starting with low-
speed tuning.
