Jet needle adjustment
(For USA, CDN, ZA, AUS and NZ)
On the carburetors used in the YZ250, the main
nozzle is press-fitted, so it can not be replaced.
Therefore, carburetor setting requires the change
of the jet needle.
1. The jet needle setting parts, having the same
taper angle, are available in different straight
portion diameters and in different taper start-
ing positions.

Changing the diameter of the straight por-
tion adjusts the air-fuel mixture when the
throttle is 1/8 to 1/4 open.

Lean N3EJ-1st groove
Changing the taper starting position pro-
duces the same effect as changing the clip
position by 0.5 groove.
<Example>
In case of being 0.5 groove leaner in rela-
tion to N3EJ-2nd groove, choose N3CJ-
2nd groove.
