O.K. working on an 85 250r. Running 86 carb. When I had the stock exhaust on there, it ran and idled good. Installed a fmf pipe and silencer. Would not idle. Figured it was now lean so installed the largest pilot jet I had; 42. Was running a 35. Even with the idle turned all the way up it still wont idle, tho it seems better than before. Do I need to keep going up w/ the pilot or move the needle or what? Seems to run out of fuel when it tries to idle.

Everytime I have had a trike that wouldn't idle it was because of a dirty carb. With as long as youve been around here I'm sure youve been there and done that so good luck.

Is it possible you went from too lean to too rich in the pilot?
