  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Sometimes usually when going uphill, and bogging it a bit, if i close the throttle it just farts and dies. The guy I got the bike from said he put the JD jet kit in it, just wondering if there are any places I should start investigating.

its a 2007 TC250

Man i love this bike...if i can get rid of the fart-die it would be even more super-er.
:D
 
Just a hunch but are you having more problems in warmer weather & higher elevations? If so you might try turning the fuel screw in 1/2 turn.
 
Ya it was actually fine all morning, then we went back to the truck for lunch, and it ran like crap for the next couple hours.
 
I don't know if this would impact yours but when I removed the sparky and lowered the idle RPM to 1500 on my 08 TE510 I had the same problem. Re-inserted the sparky and set idle rpm to 1600 and problem went away.
 
Interesting, i will try anything. What is the popular way of setting RPM on a dirtbike? Is there some kind of tach you can plug in?

Go to your local Napa store and get a ENM hour meter (about $70). It has a tach feature which comes in handy when adjusting your idle. I like having an hour meter for maintenance schedule, the tach is an added bonus.

Or get yourself a Trailtech Vapor or Vector. rpm, hour meter, temp gauge, speedo and more for just over $100.
Motosportz sells em or give Dave at Gnarlyparts.ca a call. He stocks them and he's located in the valley.
 
If it ran fine before then just started acting up?
Pretty hard to say based on minimal info and an erratic condition, esp since the jetting and needle position info is not avail.

Start from scratch-

Air filter condition?
Vent lines clear, float level correct + idle speed verified?
Valves getting tight after hot?
Etc.

If the bike is mechanically sound, THEN verify your baseline jetting (esp pilot and screw) and condition of orrifices.

ETC.

Lot's of stuff to check. May or may not be one simple thing or a combo of many little things being a tad off. When it's all correct, it'll run right- that much you can look forward too. Mine runs ok w/ over 30 hours on it.

YMMV and best of luck. :thumbsup:
