Cheap Yamaha TTR250 Dead On Arrival - Let's Get It Running!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

My buddy found a screaming cheap deal on a Yamaha TTR250 with a dual sport kit and a license plate, but it wasn't running. Let's go through it and see what it takes to get it going.

    The 250 probably has a bit more power, not sure how much it would be noticeable? Now you have me curious to see if the specs are available.

    It’s under the right side cover. There’s a rubber strap that holds the cover on the air box. The air filter will slide out.

    It had fuel in the line and carburetor. Probably had it in the off position because it was overflowing out the bowl.

    Yes, because fuel was overflowing from the carburetor. There was fuel in the bowl, a motorcycle will run at least 30 seconds on that fuel.
