What should the jetting be for a 1994 yamaha yz 250 at 5000' elevation

Hey Anon,
Proper and correct jetting is something that can only be achieved in person by a REAL MECHANIC that KNOWS how to "read" a spark plug,,,With the mods you mentioned.. you need to know the stock jet sizes..a close guess would be reduce the main jet by two or three steps and lower the needle one clip position... oil mix should be at least 32:1....or better yet 28:1.. KEEP the oil mixture and jet the carb for performance....( I see TOO MANY IDIOTS that instead of jetting a carb correctly just reduce the oil ..some as low as 50:1(INSANE) just to keep from fouling plugs.).. then WONDER why their engine doesn't last long... hahaha????

Site above has all the parts and specs for your bike. Jet ranges are large for a YZ as many mod's are available and riding conditions contribute largely to a peaky 2 banger. Start with #40 pilot, and #420 main. Trial and error from there. Cheers.

The stock main jet is #350. As to fuel, it is best to run premium gas.

Stock Jetting for a 1994YZ250 is:

350 main
45 pilot
J8-6EJ33-61 needle

Adjust your jetting down one size for each 1000' of elevation above sea level. Needle clip position on the needle fine tunes the pilot circuit.
