Another "started on a 250"er here. They're great bikes when they're running nicely. I convinced two my friends to buy bikes the right way and one has a 250 (other has gs500). The 250 was fun to ride again but it's been a bitch to get running right for someone with lack of carb knowledge. In it's current state it starts very easy and idles well with choke on some, but as it warms it wants to die. We've: Adjusted the valves. Bike had 11k and it probably never had been done, all valves were tight. Made starting easy but dies when hot, which, annoyingly enough, is usually touted as a symptom of tight valves. Cleaned the carbs. And by that I mean, when we got into the carbs and they were spotlessly clean even after sitting for nearly a year with no prep. Cleaned them anyways. New plugs and fresh gas. One of the old plugs was literally missing part of the electrode or whatever you call it, but it still sparked. New batt, for good measure. Nothing obvious like leaky gas from a stuck float but I can't figure out what gives.
