Does swapping to a non electronic carb on a 2006 KX250 going to make it a bit tamer for woods?
Allowing the power to be more manageable?

I got this idea from Eric Gorr who replied to with a couple other options too -

Curious if anyone has tried it

sandblaster:
Never tried the carb swap but you can use a flywheel weight, thicker head gasket, and retard your timing.

unless your woods trails are WOT in 5th gear, the quickest, easiest, and cheapest way to make it "tamer" for the woods, is to just up-shift another gear...to keep the revs down.

Foxx4Beaver:
another relatively cheap option, is going up one tooth on the front sprocket...you could go down a couple teeth on the rear too to get the same results, but front sprockets are a lot cheaper than rears...around $20.

sandblaster:
And, you can re-cut the squish, re-direct the transfers. and go to a smaller diameter carb.
If it does not already have it you can throw on a woods pipe, carb spacer, and Rad valve  :-D
