half throttle before it moves??????help

[Harry Balzonya]

I bought a 91 bravo 250 transporter. and im having a small problem, i have to squeeze the throttle half way before i can get it to move and yes theres a new belt on it so i know its not that its something to do with carburator

and also is there anyone out there that know all the specs on the carb for how many turns on the idle screw, air screw and throttle adjustment.

any help at all would be great.
and guys keep in mind to that im a amaturer at this so can u explain it like im 3 years old or something

thanks alot

my 03 VMAX had the problem this year and it was dirty clutches.
They were not engaging till about half throttle or about 6000rpm.
Took then apart cleaned then really good with scotch pads and hot water.

has it got fresh gas? thats the first and most simple to do

is that a one lunger or a twin? i had a twin once that you could barely tell (by the sound of it) that it was running off one cylinder, and when you gave it throttle it wouldn't budge till at least half throttle.

yes its a 250 single cylinder

im not doubting the clutch idea, but for some reason i think its the carb b u i can find any information on how turns and stuff are on the screw and what the propper ajustment for the throttle cable

Had the sled been sitting for a while without being run? If so, the carb very likely needs cleaning. You could take it off and take it to a shop.

did that al ready still the same, im pretty sure that its just a few ajustments that need to be made on the screws and the throttle.

but i dont know how many turns to put on them.

tks
