MXU / Re: MXU 250 wont idle
« on: December 14, 2009, 12:54:04 AM »
I finally had time to work on it and it appears it was a couple of clogged jets.  I had cleaned them one time and it did not help.  This time I used a
sewing needle and cleaned with carb clean.  A couple of them where a little tight around the needle before I started.  The thing runs like a champ
and I thank you all.  I am going to replace the throttle cable because the boot at the slide valve is broken.
Again, thank you very much.

I will try these things and I will post back.  I hate note getting feedback from people when I try to help them.  It helps me when I know what fixed their
problems. Thanks

I do have the air filter on, but not the lid to the box- I will try that.  The intake is only about 3 inches long and I dont see any leaks.  I can try some propane
enrichment or carb clean to see if anything changes.  Thanks for helping.

This is a really great site! I cant believe I just found it.  I have a 250 mxu that wont idle unless the choke is fully on.  It starts backfiring through the
the intake when the choke is turned off.  I know it is running lean, but I don't know why.  I have replaced the spark plug, fuel filter, cleaned tank filter
and cleaned the jets in the carb.  I adjusted the valves to .004 (they were at .005).  The only thing I need to do is a compression check and I don't have
the correct size.  Hopefully I am just a dumby and am overlooking the obvious.  Thanks for anything you may come up with.
