jetting for the athena 300 kit

[Dwahl]

I have been riding with the 300 for a while and when i go from half throtle to full there is a lag for about a second. Does anyone with experince with this know what size main jet i should get? or should i just get a randomly larger one and see how that feels. Also would getting larger main, pilot and leak be a start considering it probably needs more fuel across the entire power band? I have lowered the needle to the richest setting and that seemed to help but it still feels lean. Any thoughts or ideas would be nice. Thanks

The JD jetting kit for the TC and TE 250 work great with the Athena 300 setup.

I have the 2005 Te250 with the 300 kit with the 2005 JD kit & no problems so far but I'm still running the 1st tank out for break in & it's about 25 degrees here so interesting thread. What problems do you know about

coffee has a bunch of articles here on AP settings. i recomend the stock screw setting on the AP arm and safety wiring them together. been like that on mine since i brought it home.

hard bog = lean
burbble/gurggle = rich
identify which circuit has issues and adjust
lowering your needle LEANS it out, not richens it.

if things were fine before you upped CC's you should be very close so put it back to where it was and start over. then- go up one on the main and see how it flies, after, you verify every circuit is spotless clean and there are no vacuum leaks or any other issues.

my stock 07 TC 250 on grass w/ a new Scorpion 486 on the rear when i screw on the gas in second will literally flip over backwards if i dont pull the clutch in and stomp the back brake- even with a 14th uptite front sprocket (stock is 12th). baroooooooop! whoa!

Sorry I ment to say i raised the needle by lowering the clip. the jetting was out a little bit when I got it. did the jd jet kit make a big difference with the 300 kit?

The kit for the 2005s was not tested on any huskys but rather put together using ktm information and some people had trouble getting those to work right. The ktm was a long stroke motor and the husky is a short stroke motor. The 2006 kits were made from dyno runs, riding, & exhaust analyzers on several different huskys. I use the 2006 kit on my 2005 husky and it works really well, no stumble and hard to stall with plenty of power.

Do you remember what number kit you used and what jets it contained..??

Use JDHQ04, that one is listed for 05-09 , the JDHQ02 is listed as 05 only and you do not want it.
