What kind of CARB does a Yamaha XT225 have?
Discussion in ‘ Thumpers ‘ started by ponyhorscroft, Nov 18, 2014 . Removed and cleaned the carb. The carb has no shims under the fuel needle, has a 130main jet and a 40 pilot jet, I removed the fuel screw plug and turned out the screw 3 turns (as recommended for this bike).
What causes a Yamaha XT225 jetting to lean?
Nor is the position of the pilot screw. 3 turns is just about right. There are several other things that can cause it to run excessively lean. One is an air leak between the carb and the engine. An air leak between the carb and airbox can let dirt in, but it won’t make any appreciable difference in the mixture.

If you have a propane torch, start the engine, open the valve on the torch but DO NOT LIGHT IT. Hold the tip of the torch around between the carb and engine, all the way around.
