Spooge

[Upyourkiltbatman]

Ok there's a lot of talk about spooge on this forum ,coming from four strokes I only just found out what this is , but my bike shows no sign whatsoever ,the bike smokes a bit on start up but not much after , I mix about 110 ml to a gallon ,think that's about right ? Maybe I could jet it a bit better as the top end / powerband seems quite light ,not a big hit and not much faster than my mates husqvarna txe 250 , I thought I would destroy it on the 300 r

Not sure what year you are talking about. Also, you mean TXC250?

You should have some oil residue (spooge) on the end of your muffler. If you use Synthetic oil, you should use 50:1 or 2.56 ounces per gallon (76ml).

Something is drastically wrong if a 300 2 stroke isn't faster than a TXC250. I should know because I have 2013 TXC310R and my 300 Gas Gas obliterates it, let alone a TXC250.

My Gas 300 is a rocket and will rip your arms off if you are not paying attention.

Roger that. My EC250 feels stronger than both my mates 350exc and FE390, in the upper rpm. Obviously no where near as linear in its delivery which only adds to the stronger feeling.

I'd suggest you review your jetting specs (including float height) before going too much further. Double check fuel/oil ratios, and also install a filter between the tank and carb.

Mine is a 2011 300 r , the bike I was up against was a husqvarna txe 250 it's the xc or light version four stroke Ok my mate must weight about 10 kilos lighter than me so not sure . I've only had the bike for a couple of weeks and not looked at the carb set up , but what would be a good baseline setting , and I've just noticed the air box doesn't seal around the carb as good as it could so this might help , ordered a new air box connector .

175 main. 40-42 pilot. Nedw needle in the 2nd or 3 rd clip depending on weather. Float level should be set around 7-8 mm

double check but I think that's 35:1
if you're running synthetic you can go to 50:1

so no spooge at 35:1
are you trolling here?

GGDreamer, oh, it's quite possible he has little to no spooge. The end of my tailpipe is nice and dry and dusty, nothing drools out the front. Of course I only have a little over 10K miles (yes, 10 thousand) so I guess that could change as she breaks in .

The ratio is 28:1 Amsoil Dominator (ran RedLine for a while, no spooge, just too expensive!) ...2004 EC 300. I changed the O'rings because I thought I might have had a leak. That is all I've done to the engine.

Ok. Had the carb off and realised the inlet rubber was rubbish and never sealed properly so this may have caused it to be lean inside the jets are 175 main 40 pilot and the needle was on the top clip , I moved the needle clip to the second from top put it all back together now I can't start it tried to bump it with no joy , any ideas ?

[gassergrant]

whats the air screw set at mate needs to be around 1.5 turns

[gassergrant]

and I would run 100mls of oil to 5 liter of fuel
