    Help Tuning my 85 250r with a Mikuni 38mm carb?

    Hello,

    I just started my build on my 85 and I'm a new to this. Currently the bike has a Mikuni 38 mmTM Flate side carb and I would like data on how to tuning this thing. I'm the second owner of this bike and its pretty much stock. Also, what fuel mixture would work the best? I currently tried a 32/1 ratio and the bike starts on the 2nd kick and seems to idle ok. What do you guys think?

    Have you done any plug chops to see what the plug looks like at WOT? How does it run through the powerband? Do you have a pipe and silencer, or a free flowing air filter on it? 38mm carb may be too big for a stock 250R. I may be wrong on that, I'm really not a 250R guy.
    Rides:
    1986 ATC250R (sectional pipe and Klemm Research silencer)
    1986 ATC250R (Desert Bike, WAX-ON seat, Dual Cibie lights, Steering Stabilizer)
    1979 ATC110 (Bandito frame and forks, Turbo wheels, disc braked)
    1982 ATC70 (Lifan manual 125)
    1987 LT80 (piped, widened)

    Not just yet I'm waiting for a set of rear wheels in the mail should be any day. I still have the airbox and I moded the boot to fit the larger carb. The bike has a Paul Turner pipe and a ESR muffler. I doing some research to see if that carb might be too big..
