LOL, I posted and as soon as my screen refreshed, BAM, there she was! Very nice looking bike. I like the Blue! Go ahead and change the tubes. Save yourself some heartache later. Get those latex gloves out of there.

Which position is choke on - up or down? It idles fine down, but won't idle at all on up (but does stay running of I hold the throttle open).

The assembly wasn't bad at all. I would probably recommend buying from a different retailer than where I got mine, but overall I'm very happy with it.

You need to warm it up and adjust the idle, using the idle adjustment screw on the side of the carb. Now I can't remember which position of the choke lever is ON! Someone will be along shortly to answer. I think DOWN is ON! if I remember right.

I had to turn the screw in about 2 1/2 turns for it to idle with the choke lever up, however the lever down causes it too idle way high. I took it for a quick ride and it sputters on acceleration (it didn't before). I don't want to do any more until I get the oil changed, so I'll do that shortly and save the rest for tomorrow.

Chock lever all the way up is on and all they way down is off. Adjust the idle with the chock off.

Thanks, I think that may have worked. I let it warm up first then adjusted it. Just went around the block a few times. No sputtering at all. It's got a bit of grunt for a little 250.

It only gets better as it breaks in. A free flowing exhaust and carb tuning it gets even better. These are fun bikes to play around with and not cost an arm and a leg. Lol
