New 250 owner love bike carb issues please HELP

Wvsuzuki250 · 05-12-2019, 03:34 AM

2003 suzuki gz250 took carb off to clean and replace jets. Ordered kit and replaced jets...closed it back up. Dude that was helping me messed with the float level and now it will idle fine but when you start throttling it dies.

I've done infinite amount of research and best I can tell it is the primary jet or it is the float level. Please if anyone can help me...I am a true to the blue gz250 fan, my 8 year old daughter is in love with this deep blue pearl and I need to get ir running again and put more miles and smiles on it.

Look at the videos I posted in this thread:

Please note that I just posted links to two videos from the 7 in series - you watch them and you can learn what to do to fix and most importantly - what to do to not screw it up.

I appreciate the help...I have been through this guys videos diligently and still am not able to get it figured out. At this point I dont wanna take it to a shop cause I ran it 1600 miles before I took the Carb and cleaned it...when I reinstalled it was like this.

Last night I checked the float level and it was 13 on the dot...but one thing I noticed was that my diaphragm was shrunk up and didnt want to sit in that groove

Try to follow this to install the diaphragm.

BTW - if you didn't soak it for long time in aggressive solvents - you should be fine.

BTW: I pointed to the videos exactly because there are many places you can install something incorrectly (out of sequence, backwards, over torque, pinch). This guy is very good at describing how to avoid these common mistakes. Parts for the carb are available but not cheap (partzilla.com). This guy is giving good advice - why to avoid buying cheap - non OEM Chinese knock off parts.
