I just aquired a non running atc 250r, i got it running real rough. The jets are 122 main 40 pilot, is that to rich or lean or what? I have never messed with one before, also it won't rev up very good and it won't rev up very high, what could be some of the problems, i have spark and fuel just not sure why it could be doing this, any suggestions would be appreciated.

First what kinda carb it on it?? the Keihin PE/PJ or an aftermarket. the # is stamped on the side just above the bowl. let me know and what mods it has and we'll go from there, cause it sounds like your WAY lean according to the charts I have.

What year is it or better yet what's the carb model #?? the # is stamped on the side just above the bowl. I got the stock jetting charts right here in front of me.

Ok. got to look for the other book then. had the 85-89 ATC & TRX book, got to find the early ATC book cause there is a MAJOR difference between the 84's and the '86's like for starters a completely different engine.

i got it to rev up, but when i let the clutch out it wants to die and barely takes off, it will take off pretty good after that but then it cuts out backfires then takes off a little again, then backfires and cuts out, then sometimes it dies and just won't rev better than when i started but not very good.

I'd think that you are REALLY rich if its cutting out and not gaining revs. What does your spark plug look like? Is it really wet and black?
