Help Tuning information required Megelli 250S

I'm struggling to find any actual service manuals for this machine (250S, water cooled, carby) of my son's. All the links to what SEEM to be service manuals just end up at email harvesting sites. Even the much vaunted Spanish language manual no longer seems to exist online. I have the ones from the resources section but they just don't cover much of anything beyond "yep, that's a carby".
I'd be really grateful if someone could provide a copy, in ANY language, of the setup specs for the carby.

 

Yes, I've read that.
Going off my son's description it's running rich and fouling the plug. He took it to a mechanic where he is (four hours drive from me) and after charging him over $300 they told him it would cost another thousand to rebuild the carby. My son only paid $1200 for the bike and as pretty as it is, it's more likely to get tossed into a bonfire than pay another grand, but we'd rather it was going well enough to get him to work.
I'm headed down there again next week to look at it, clean the carby, set the valves, and hope I can get this sorry excuse for a waste of money going for him.

 

Yeah.
I may have uttered a profane exclamation when my son told me that part.
I got a price for a whole new carby from the lone Australian parts guy. It was about $350. Still a lot given the value of the bike but a hell of a lot better than $1000 for a rebuild.

 

To the best of my knowledge there's precisely one guy in Australia, he runs the Facebook page, and that's him.

I'm going to clean out the carby and I just got myself some angled feeler gauges to set the clearances. It would just be really handy to have information like the standard float height, any clip positions etc before I start pulling things apart.

Also, last time I was down there we went for a ride, me following on my RT. That Megelli is LOUD, I mean splitting headache inducing after twenty minutes, got the attention of the police at a RBT stop we passed type loud. Surely this isn't normal.

 

I thought it was posted in another thread they should be 6 and 8 thou, or does this being a water cooled model make a difference?

 

Ok, if that's what it is, then that's what it is. I might see if I can make it quieter when I get the chance to play with it for a while.

 

Entirely possible but on't know till I get my hands on it. That's one of the things I'll be looking for along with blocked air passages etc in the carb and a choked air filter.

 

Everything I've found in what manuals I can get tell me it's a TK MV34 carby, but until I get my hands on it I won't know for sure.

 

Ok, I'll take filter cleaner and oil with me to cover that job as well.
Right now consistently running at all is better than what he's got. I'm leaning towards the valves at the moment, but won't know until she comes apart and gives up her secrets.
I'm being "romantic".
If I typed the language that bike has invoked I'd be banned.

 

The bike in general? It's not winning any points with me so far I can assure you.

If I was well off I'd just buy him a MT03 and be done with it, but I have skills instead of cash.
