I have been having some trouble with the electronic PWK on my RM (03 RM250) Flooding, poor jetting, spooge....I have had several bikes and have never had this much trouble (or spooge covered fenders) to the point that I'm looking for options...or at least advice.
I have a long body 38mm air stryker I used on another bike that will fit in place of the shorty, I wonder what is affected by unplugging the TPS and solenoid? I understand that the purpose is to enrich mid rpm with the power jet circuit, but does it affect timing? I have read a lot of posts where people have experienced better performance when they disconnect the electronics, but how about just replacing the whole damn problem? How much would jetting change? I can use the Suzuki needles in the long body right? I believe the 'zook tripple tapers are a better product? Uug, I'm on my last nerve with this carb.

In order for your ignition to function at that level, it needs the feedback from the TPS.
Of course your bike will run fine without the power jet and TPS, and since you can't get the jetting right with your current set up,
it may even run better.
Both carbs use the same kind of jets and needles.

I really don't want to disable it and maybe I'll try the other carb for kicks, but I want to use the OEM one long term.

I like this bike and have it looking decent, I sure want to get it out on Monster Mountain one of these days!
Seems to be much better, but I am only able to ride it on the street and sidewalk. The neighbors won't complain, but I don't want to wear out my welcome blasting around. Can't wait to get out to the track!
