My brother picked up a 94 cr250. The bike bogs in low rpms with no power but once we hit the power band the bike rips..

Clean air filter?
Clogged silencer?
Air screw ( should be around 1.5 out)

Whats the best way to figure out if the silencer is clogged.. and sorry but have not been riding bikes for long, is the air screw the small brass flat head screw on bottom right of carb looking at it from left side of bike?

What you describe sounds like a typical 2 stroke, however it's very likely this bike has an aftermarket powerband, which are very fickle. I would revert back to the factory powerband. You can find the correct powerband part number on the Honda parts microfiche. It's on the same parts diagram as the muffler bearings.

Repack your silencer, check your pilot jet, it can bog because its too small or clogged. does it run better with the choke on at low rpms? yes the brass screw is the air screw its on the intake side towards the airboot.

Check for a stuck power valve.

Bingo!

Also if the cylinder has been off there is a pin (if I am remembering correct) that has to be lined up with the arm that works the powervalve. If that is not aligned, it can be stuck open and you will have little low rpm power.

This.


Also check your carb, clean it completely. Make sure the main needle jet is opening and closing and 'seating' correctly. If there is a groove on the rubber needle replace it. Replace both the pilot and main jet, they're cheap.

Check the reed's, make sure they aren't chipped or cracked. Also make sure the reed cage is sealed and not sucking in air. (this is a big one)

On a lower probability if you can swap coils with another CR250. Sometimes the coils go bad and act funky at different RPM's until they finally die.

On the far low end, a clogged silencer with gooey packing can severely restrict a 2 stroke too.

Fresh gas? 32:1? Fresh spark plug gapped properly? Clean air filter? These are also potential issues. Make sure the tank is clean and free of debris, same with the fuel line. You'd be surprised what a couple specks of dirt can do to an engine.

Also, check your compression.

Very much yes...there is a shaft that runs vertically from the base of the cylinder to the power valve on the front right corner. It has a forked plate at the bottom that catches the pin from the cases. There is almost no way to line it up when putting the cylinder on unless you disconnect to top from the power valve as it’s preloaded by the spring when installed, making it refuse to align as the cylinder comes down onto the cases. I only remember this because I ruined two of them back in 93 before I figured it out. Not only does it stick the power valve, but tightening down the cylinder (which it will let you do without much resistance) with it misaligned will bend the fork. Trying to bend it back causes a crack due to the plate being hardened. They were 60.00+ apiece back then...

As been said check and clean the power valves. Carbon can build up around the exhaust ports and make them stick also.
