new carb/tires.

[blaster03]

okay im about to order some new tires and a carb... is a 250r stock carb good for a blaster? and would size 16x6.5-8 be nice? any ideas i have 150 bucks to spend.

 

[brandoz28]

you're gonna want a taller tire than that. at least an 18 inch tall. and the 250r carb is a little big if your bike is just stock

bike is not stock. 240 kit. sooo would that carb work? and the tires on my bike now are 22s... so i thought those would provide better take off?

 

[blaster03]

18X9.5-8 im ganna order this size.. and will that carb be good i need to know so i can order... how will my throttle work with it and how will i need to jet it?

18's minimum on the rear tires or your gonna catch every root and rock on the trails for lack of clearence, personally i like the taller tires for clearence, 20, 21 or even the 22's, then re gear it with the sprockets for better low end, and i wouldnt go any bigger than a 35mm on the carb, i think the 250r's are like 38's??? find out what size it is, and yes it will need rejetted,
a new intake and adapted to your airbox side boot

 

[brandoz28]

they're a 34mm on the 250r's.

 

[blaster01]

no stock 250r carbs are 34mm PJ......so yes that 34mm, stock 250r carb would be great





EDIT: dang you brandoz, you beat me to it

 

[blaster03]

they're a 34mm on the 250r's.

is it a 34mm? the guy said in the description its a 1985 1986 HONDA ATC 250R CARBURATOR but i mean ive seen other posts saying selling 250r 38mm carb so im confused on the size..

man like awk said go with atleast 20's, i have 18 inch turf tamers now and i hang up on everything if you stick with the 18 i would invest in a good swingarm guard

 

[brandoz28]

mine supposedly came off a 250r and its a 34mm

 

[blaster01]

yes you can by 35, 36, 38 watever size you want for a 250r, but a stock 250r carb is 34mm......trust me i have a heavily modded 250r...ahah but we have a 38mm carb on ours......lol

I get hung up on my 18in. ITP Holeshots MXR6's...im gonna try getting some 20's here when i get the money...

 

[blaster03]

ya im ganna shop around for the tires. but i ordered the 250r carb... just need to know what jetting and how am i ganna make the throttle from the blaster work... also how to modify it to fit with my boot.

 

[blaster01]

take a lighter or tourch and quickly run the lighter around the edge of the boot quickly just so it heats it up and makes it stretch alittle easier.....but i doubt it will work with that big of a carb, prob have to buy a new bigger boot

 

[Awk08]

definately need a 34mm intake and a different throttle cable and adapted to the rear intake boot, and as for jetting, i'm doing it now, have a 48 pilot, 155 main and its still rich, this is a no answer question, trust me, i asked a hundred times and got that many answers, it's a test and tune thing till you get it right

 

[blastermaster01]

probably want to go with 20's. minimum 18, which was stated above.

Well someone tell me I can still use my boot and what throttle cable will I need

 

[brandoz28]
