20 Most Recent 1996 Yamaha FZX 250 Zeal Questions & Answers

My 1994 Yamaha Timberwolf starts but won't idle properly. Sometimes when it quits it backfires. What could the problem be?

If your rings were shot and the engine was running you would see billows of blue smoke coming out the pipes, as well as oil. If not running, then your fuel would end up in your sump inflating the amount of oil in there. (this does happen on all bikes only ridden around town, get it out on the highway to burn off the excess fuel then recheck your oil level.)
I'm wondering if you left your fuel tap on overnight (if it has one) if so, then you will have fuel running back out either the carbs or the boot that goes from the carb to the engine. Oil will leak if your valve seals are shot. it is possible that it was only fuel that was stained with a bit of oil.

Sounds like lack of fuel to the engine. Has the bike been sitting for some time? You may want to pull the carburetor and give it a good cleaning payning particular attention to the jets. Don't use anything made of steel to clean your jets because you'll run the risk of enlarging and ruining them. I've had success using either wooden toothpicks (for large jets) or copper wire (small jets). Make sure you take your time and work very carefully when cleaning them; if you rush, you can end up with something broken off into a jet orifice and having to buy new ones.

This is a highly ill - eagle act to do. In the old days we would put an electric drill on the drive cable, but now they make them tamper proof so they only go one way. The bezels are crimped on so you can't get inside them. I expect modern one may be electronic. How will your insurance company know what mileage you have done? I have never known an insurance cancel or fine due to mileage. You should have just disconnected it when you got close to the limit. Buy a used one and use them for 6 months in turns.

Make sure the fuel is getting to the valve and passing through it. Possible blockage in fuel line or in the tank.

It isn't called a Magneto, that was for really old bikes. It is a 'stator'.

What Exactly does the bike do when it 'loses power'? This will give clues as to where the issue could be. When was the last time the bike was given a major service? Sometimes it can be as simple as a dirty fuel/air filter or an old/worn or dirty spark plug.

Are you wanting the size of the hex bolt head or the thread size and bolt length? Most oil pan plug bolts are either 17mm (5/8th socket) or 19mm (3/4" socket) bolt heads.
