hey guys! I representing the shit have hit the fan, i have a b reg xs250, and nearly all the carb parts and things alike stopped being easily available in like 82. desperately trying to find carb to block manifolds for 1985 xs250 se. so far to this collection of love and cuddles i have, cleaned carbs (need cleaning again) restored the front caliper, changed pads, changed rear shoes, changed sprockets, changed chain, currently in process of leathering the rear tail plastics and the side plastics, have replaced old air filters with conicals, have a motad 2 into 1 pipe, changed front wheel bearings. i've test ridden her, brilliant fun and a nice yet tame roar when building up in revs . however, i am still rather novice with mechanics and such wonders, how would one up the air fuel mixture to stop running lean? and has anyone seen yamaha xs250 se carb to engine rubbers? much appreciated guys, discuss

Hi there. I bought my first motorcycle a few weeks ago - a XS400. Previous owner had said it was running a little rough a few years ago and took off the tank to do some maintenance... and never finished the job. After cleaning out a strange green gunk (is that what gas looks like when it is 2 years old?) and rebuilding the carb, got it started after many tries. It is running pretty rough, and hesitates when revved. One cylinder doesn't seem to be firing (one exhaust pipe is cold), but it does have spark. Seems to be getting fuel... as gasoline sputters out the tailpipe on that side. So... I've got some work to do.
