2009 Husky 250TXC Winter Jetting specs??

09 TXC 250 stock except for fuel air screw that I just installed. I like in New England soo it is really cold here. I dont know anything about this bike or how picky the jetting is beacuse it is brand new and I am not a 4stroke guy.
Pretty sure I am at 300 ft above sea level. Stock jetting is 40pilot and 175 main. Any ideas on jetting for 25 degree weather? I was thinking 50pilot and a 185 main.

great post dan,I would think at least one size up on the main.
I am wating to hear from wagner about winter jetting,but you may want to call Taskys or Halls or george at Uptite and check with them

I was going to ask the same question Dan. Im waiting for an answer also so Fury can jet my bike for me.

Well...... I was thinking last night.. We ended up putting a 45 pilot in and ran the stock 175 main jet in my brothers bike and that ran pretty damn good at the last enduro of the year which was a bit chilly at 40 in the morning and prob 50 later in the day. So his bike was stock besides the 45 pilot and a fuel/air adjuster that he put on.
Sooo I wouldnt think that it would be too crazy to run a 50pilot and a 185main for normal NE winter riding. I will tell all of you this, although the bike is easy to work on---Its a SOB to get at the carb. To date; the worst bike I have had to work on the carb was a 01 honda CR250. This husky is ridiculus to swap jets. I found that it is easier to just take the back of bike off and take the damn shock out. I dont wanna disconnect all the BS to the carb soo this seems the easiest way to just pop it out and do what you gotta do and then put the bike back together without disturbing all the wires and such. I hate finding out new quirks and getting familar with a new bike. BUT......I am very fast on this bike and I know it is going to reward me

my stock pilot ended up being a 42. I guess the carb access isnt that bad, I didnt touch the shock....... anyways I went with a 45pilot, 180 main and added a fuel mixture flex screw. I will post results this week

dan,I took my carb out and left the cables on it,had to move the wires around it a bit,but got it off very easily,by the way if you need to drop the rear shock,you DONT need to remove the subframe,the swingarm has an inside indent that allows the shock to be rotated until it will drop out the bottom,I did take the wheel off and removed one side of the dog bone to get to the shock mount and then lifted the swingarm almost as high as i could push it up,but makes things very easy

I have the JD jet kit in my 08 TXC, stock it had a 42 pilot and the kit came with a 45 (but the instructions said to install the 42 in the kit). I ran the 45 for a couple months and it needed a slight throttle opening to start and felt rich off the bottom so I put the 42 in and it has been great. In the 30-40 degree range it is a bit lean with the SA out and I get some lean pops on decel. I may raise the needle one clip for my winter jetting and play with the fuel screw to fine tune it.

The factory needle would have to be really lean to get away with a 50 PJ I would think.

For carb access I pull the seat, tank, exhaust, remove the bottom two subframe bolts, loosen the top ones and flip the subframe up. It is a 15-20 minute job to get the carb out. Removing the throttle cables is really simple, much easier than fighting with the carb dangling around by the cables.

Later,

You're kidding right? I've got the same bike and can jet the carb without taking ANYTHING off. Loosen the head clamp, loosen the airbox clamp, pull the carb back from the head, pop it off the rubber intake boot and twist to the right... No need to take anything off.

If you think the '09 TXC carb is an SOB to service... you obviously haven't dealt with any modern Jap aluminum perimeter frame! I had an '09 Honda CRF 250R that had to be virtually stripped to the ground just to see the carb.

I dont know.......,,, I think it is a tight squeeze. Not as bad as I originally thought but still tight

I take the pipe, coolant tank and starter off - only takes a few minutes. The bottom of the carb is now wide open and jetting changes are simple.

I thought it was me, but I had a bit of time getting to the carb. I ended up taking it completely off, which wasn't too bad. Next time (hopefully not anytime soon), I'll go Krieg's method.

All you guys have got me thinking now... maybe I'm remembering the '10 TC and not the '09 TXC. I gotta go back and try the TXC now just to make sure!
