[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1362504, member: 104942"] My old KLR-250 (CV carb) was very fussy about both idle and fuel air screw. There wasn't a single setting that was right for both cold starts and really warmed up, so you had to continually fuss with the idle depending on ambient temps and what you were doing. And you had a choice of "easy start but bogs when you whack the throttle" or "harder starts but runs well when finally warmed up". In short, every setting seemed interdependent on every other setting, so it was a bit of a chore to align all the planets. I prepared my self for the same battle with my rebuilt KDX-200 H2, and found that I couldn't hardly screw it up. Throttle stop screw could be in a lot of different places, and it didn't matter much, though there was a right idle. But aside from idling at the wrong RPM, the throttle stop position had no other effect. The fuel air mixture screw could be half a turn out through two and a half turns out, and the bike seemed to run fine as well. So I put it to the lean end of the factory recommended range, 1 and a quarter turns out. Now I've only run this bike on hot days, so maybe when its 40 degrees out I'll be singing a different tune... but for now I'd say that what you are describing is "something broken" not "something that needs to be tuned". So I guess I'm with everyone else saying check the plug, spark, reeds, quality of gas, compression, float level, clean carb, etc. [/QUOTE]
