My buddy has 1985 250 ES BigRed and it will not idle. We cleaned the carb once and it was good for a day. This is a different carb and I'm wondering if their is a trick to it. He ordered a rebuild kit, but wanted to ask if theirs something we are not doing right. Also if someone has a link to how to rebuild this type of carb that would help too.

thanks

Make sure every passage is clear and clean. Get a can or 2 of brake parts cleaner and blast it through every passage and jet, super clean. And make sure that the 2 hoses on the sides of the carb are not stopped up.

As far as rebuilding it, just take it apart and match up what you remove with the new parts and replace them.

You might ask this in the "Trikeslyvania" forum to get more responses.
