I just put this screw in my crf150rb and it works so good great my bike was running so bad and it was quick to adjust it

Played with my settings a while. Had it about right but a little lean. So going through the gears on the road had a bog. Richened it a 1/8 turn, bog greatly reduced, loosened another 1/8 turn and setting is awesome. No bog and my 250EXC 4 starts on one kick when hot. Before your scew, bike would kick start cold with out choke and would not kick start hot. (too rich and very hard to adjust). Thanks.,

Hello, If I made mod on TE250i 2019 2 stroke, that mod can couse more fuel and less oil in engine? so the cranshaft bearing and cod bearing will be damaged? as stock fuel ratio is lean and. Imade adjustment screw so I cut air and made that screw to adjust idle by flaper and TPS sensor. So if you know please let me know. Thanks,

Is there a stock setting for the throttle stop screw that you adjust the idle with? The one that looks like a flat screwdriver is needed to adjust it.

@Sms8668 5 жыл бұрын

TheCRFrider23 Actually, That Idle Screw moves a little when riding so you have to tweak it every so often. You should here when it sounds Good. You want it where the Bike is running low and steady. You don’t want the Idle high. You know what I mean.

Hi, my bike is backfiring a little too much off gas, throttle fully closed, running at low RPMs. Apart from that, it runs fine. Oh, I have a Keihin FCR MX 41 with TPS. I am currently 1 and 1/2 turns out with this TUSK screw from fully close, do you recommend to open it further more or I just need a larger Idle jet? Thanks.

I'm working on one of these for a neighbor, and I found that his carb has one of these aftermarket fuel screws (not the Tusk version) and the tip has broken off and is stuck in the carb. Has anyone ever dealt with trying to remove a broken off and stuck fuel screw tip? I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get above it to push it out of there.

I have an 07 crf250r. When on the stand when I start it up, usually once every Saturday if not riding. I try to wick the throttle open while idiling and the engine bogs. Could this help? Just got the carb cleaned and new jets so I think that might be it too. :/

@rmatvmc 10 жыл бұрын

Yes that can affect the very first part of your throttle. If you haven't installed one of these quick adjust fuel mixture screws you can try to adjust your stock mixture screw and see if that cleans it up. Use your service manual and this video for the proper procedures and settings. This slight hesitation could also be caused by other jetting settings such as your leak jet. This controls the amount of fuel let back into the float bowl from the accelerator pump and therefore controls how much fuel the accelerator pump shoots into the intake as the throttle is wicked. Try adjusting your fuel mixture screw first and that will tell you if your pilot jet is correct or not and then go from there. If you run into any questions let us know!

Test while riding not while on the stand. If you adjust for quick WOT on a stand, you will be running rich and decreasing range/mileage.

My carb appears to not have this screw and it ran fine before.. But now I have a glowing exhaust after running it just for 60 sec.. Should I buy this screw? Im also going to check the valve clearances. But it still bothers me that my carb doesnt have this screw. And it is stock.

@rmatvmc 5 жыл бұрын

The bike ran fine before what? Your stock screw will not stick out like this screw so it will look different. It's not super abnormal for the header to glow red when a bike is just sitting especially on bigger cc bikes like 450's but if it didn't glow previously I'd definitely check and make sure it's not running too lean and none of your valves are burnt or anything like that.

@hondarider4429 5 жыл бұрын

I ride my bike(crf250r) almost every day. The other day it started popping out the exhaust so I went home and checked the valves and they are in spec. Then while I was cleaning the carb assuming that was the issue I couldnt see this adjuster screw. Im going to check the valves again tomorrom. Do you think the screw is the problem? Im not sure how it would fall out by it self.

@rmatvmc 5 жыл бұрын

It's hard to say exactly but I'm sure you know how your bike normally runs. But if your valves are in spec I would suspect something is making it run too lean. This screw will make air/fuel adjustments easier at the lower RPM's.

@rmatvmc Жыл бұрын

You might have a tamper proof cap covering the fuel screw. If you need to rebuild the carburetor, that cap can be drilled out in order to remove the fuel screw and clean that circuit. Check your manual but you'll probably need a "D" tool to remove the screw. Use the Honda service manual to reinstall the fuel screw back to factory settings, then install a new tamper proof cap. www.rockymountainatvmc.com/parts/dynojet-%22d%22-shaped-pilot-fuel-screw-tool-p
