HH250ss help: Clutch spring install/looking for a jet

Posts: 57

Hello everyone! First of all... I spend this past weekend messing with my jets again... Looking at the plug, my 140 definetly seems a tad lean. And the next step I have is a 145. It runs up fine, and cruises at top speed fine (same top speed etc) then after about 30 seconds of that the idle falls hard and stumbles... When I let off the gas it sputters and pops some as it slows then I can get back in the gas.. so... I'd say that's rich. BUT I can't find a 142.5 jet! I've glanced through all the vendors on the main page and couldn't find anyone that carries this one. So if you know where to get it (or have one to spare) please let me know Smile

Next- I bought the pack of clutch springs to play with... But man they're way smaller than my originals! On the original ones, one side of the spring is longer so it can slide into the clutch hole, the replacement ones don't have this, so even getting it in that first hole was a PAIN! I finally got one in and between a friend and I, we couldn't come even close to hooking the other side of the spring to the other clutch. Can someone look at this picture and tell me if my clutch is the typical CFMoto clutch setup... And if there are any tips on hooking up the spring if all that looks right. You can see one factory spring installed still to kinda compare the one I tried to install.. Thanks!
Andrew

PS- got my new rims and DOT street tires in today Very Happy

Can't wait to get them mounted and go for a ride... Although their height is quite a bit smaller (about 1.5" shorter than stock size) hope it doesn't hurt my top end too much that I'm working so hard for......

I have a vendor looking for a set that is longer, hopefully he will get back with me today. I will look and see if I have a jet that size.

Its the same stock clutch my hammerhead has.
The springs will go in but take work. I preferred the white ones by far and they where easier to get in.

Pinch the clutch between your legs vertically and push opposite side of spring into the ground. Its hard I know I thought is this some kind of bad joke giving me mini springs? Takes effort but they do go in.best advice is don't use the 2 shorter sets of springs they are hell to put in and you will probably be disappointed when you do get them in. With clutch springs torque spring 17 gram sliders and doctor pulley variator my brothers hammerhead out performs me big on acceleration and top end he is about 7 mph faster all he has is 21 gram sliders and hammerhead performance kit. All springs are stock. Climbing is about equal. I'm testing doctor pulley hit clutch today.

One more thing put a screw driver tip inside the spring and press tip into ground with spring at 45 degree angle to crack the paint on them. This will make them a wee bit easier to stretch as they won't be glued to themselves by paint.
