30,000 PPM Hydrocarbons!
Holy crap! That's what my 250R was putting out according to the analyzer. The problem I was having was that my 250R was fouling the plugs, leaving them black and gooey. It royally fouled my BR9ES after less than 5 minutes of riding when warmed up!
I was going to ask on 3WW but I have been getting lousy responses, soooo....I put it on the analyzer for answers. :)
It fired up and it was up to 40,000 PPM on the hydrocarbons and over 10% on the carbon monoxide, but it finally settled to about 23,000. Then I unhooked it from the anaylyzer and it STAYED AT 23,000 PPM: The anaylzer was CLOGGED up by the 250R. After about 30 minutes, it's still at about 300 PPM hydrocarbon, which would cause most modern vehicles to fail emissions in the state of Texas. Wow.
To give you an example of how messed up these emissions are, the worst I have ever seen on a bad day was 8,000 hydrocarbons and that was inspecting some old Ford truck with bad 4-barrel on its nearly choked V8. The Honda 250R is still polluting some 5 times worse than the worse vehicle I have ever seen in my entire life.
If pollution were murder, the 250R would be make the Holocaust look like a small-time attack by Al-Quada. I'm not sure the God himself could devise something with so much pollution. I am almost sure that if I poured RAW GASOLINE on the floor of the garage and then put it to the analyzers nose, the pollution would be no where near as bad as what was comming out of the 250R. In fact, you might as well drink gasoline....
To give you an example, my Chevy truck, with a TBI 350 and a messed up catalytic converter puts out about 150 hydrocarbons at idle and about 40 at highway speeds. Given the breathing of the 250R, because of its two-stroke power, is about equivalent to a 500 cc engine. If the 250R was going about 30,000 PPM hydrocarbons, even if you divide the displacement of the 5735 CC engien of the Chevy truck, you still get a disgusting amount of pollution: The single cylinder 250R is polluting about 200 TIMES MORE!
So, I sheepishly ask of thy forum, do these machines normally belt out this much pollution? Should I change the air/fuel ratio of my machine, by playing around with the needles? Thanks.l
