How do i lower the throttle pin on 2001 ktm 300 exc
if you need you bike jetted for 7000, take it to a shop and have it jetted.
If you dont understand your carburetor and make the wrong adjustment you can lean out and blow up the engine.
when you jet a bike for 7000, you need to change everything, main jet, idle jet, idle mixture, idle, and needle position.
The bike was very hard to start and the petrol is
Float inside the bottom of carb is attached to a needle that shuts off fuel when the proper fuel height is reached inside the bowl. This tiny needle usually has a rubber tip that is pushed upwards by the pressure of the float. Trash on the seat of the valve, or improper float height are common culprits with fuel pouring out of overflows. you can clear trash of the valve seat by blowing into the fuel port on the side of the carb. You can adjust float height by bending the metal tab that pushes on the needle valve.
Ktm exc 250 hard to start recently rebuilt
timing could be slightly take the magneto casing off then remove the cylinder head when the piston is at the top of cylinder head a metal lump on the magneto should line up with the first or second marking on the casing behind the magneto, carb might need cleaning,if its been rebuilt because of piston ring blowing then maybe they didnt skim your head properly your best off takin the bike apart which really aint that differcult go up to the main engine lump and you wont have that many problems
Are they a good bike
yes they are a good bike. KTM has a good reputation. Just depends on the condition of it, and how well it has been looked after.

You have a bent shift fork. The repair means taking the engine out of the frame then removing the top end, removing the flywheel and electrics, removing the clutch , shift mechanism and kick starter and a few other parts. THEN you are ready to split the gearbox to remove the crankshaft and then the bent shift fork. Next you get to put it all back together. This is a pretty big job for the home mechanic.
You will need an impact driver, flywheel puller, case splitter and torque wrench plus the normal screwdriver, pliers, etc.. Alternate to the special tools is taking it to the dealer and say "Fix it".
I normally tell people to take it to the shop just so they don't get into such an involved project.
Please rate this solution. Thanks
I bought a 1997 ktm
any engine engineering shop that does re-bores will have the piston and rings to suit
pistons and rings are generic and not made by the engine manufacturer
as for taking it back to stock it is a pointless exercise as the
.040" oversize may give you a 1% increase in power if you are lucky
What is wrong here ?
my thoughts are its sucking in trans oil from a bad main seal on the primary side.Other possibilties are you over oiled your airfilter or you are putting in to much oil in your mix .

I asked how to change
I "think" the clarifcation question was in order for the "helper" to find the correct seals for you. I would like yo to go to this page.
http://www.4strokes.com/tech/ktm/fork.aspI have been searching for the correct service manual but cannot find one for free. Its a basic job regardless of the type of bike or the year. Technology has changed for the newer models of all bikes but for most the same basic principals apply.Iknow that this is not an "answer" in part or full but please follow the link.

The carb should be left alone - the speed of the closing of the valve has no influence on the air-fuel mixture. Just back the adjuster out one turn , with a fine adjustment later- that should be enough.
