That sucks Seth. Heal up quick! I'm not going to be able to go this week, but starting next week I may be making a trip on a few Fridays.

Alex, and others What day are you wanting to go? I could likely make it one day between now and sunday. NYE is out.

Im good for Thrusday or Friday. Saturday is open house at the shop and Sunday is a football and drinking day Ill have to speed some quality time getting the 426 running right but it should be easy enough.

[Awesome]

I'm thinking tomorrow, could also prob do friday. I could do Thursday, but Melissa has to work, so preffer a day she can come too.

[Paul_E_D]

Friday is my best shot.

hmm...seeing how my friends will probably bitch out of skiing and I'm finally not interning, I might be able to come on Friday

now...how in God's name do you start a 2-stroke that's sat 2-months after your friend rode it/didn't maintain it?

Clean the carb and some fresh gas

Clean the carb and some fresh gas

got anything else?

I made a fresh batch of 32:1 2-stroke mix, I put in a new spark plug (old one came out black and wet), and pulled the carb off cleaned the outside and inside by hand, and inspected the jets and passageways for clearance:

main jet (170):



pilot jet (155):



main jet passageway (clear all the way through)



pilot jet passageway (clear all the way to the top, where it branches to the front and rear of the carb)



float bowl (no sludge):



outside:



what's next?

I was thinking:
-pull plug, ground, and test spark
-if good, remove plug, place a few drops of 2-stroke mix in cylinder, try kicking over
-if no luck, try spraying "quick start" into carb and kicking over
-if no luck, try warming the engine block with space heater and repeat steps 2 & 3
-if no luck, start tearing down the top end

the XR200R on the other hand starts and (thanks to cold weather and frozen ground) will lift the front wheel through 2nd and into 3rd gear...but I'd rather ride an MX bike on an MX track!

I can't make tomorrow. Busy working on a project/job/contract. Need that paper! Doubt I can do Friday either.

ah vell. get there soon enough.

what's up for thursday?

More of same. Work stuff in AM then going to Red Bull Sled Style downtown at 2pm.

[Awesome]

We'll be there tomorrow.

Maybe more.

[Paul_E_D]

Yes, check for spark, check REEDS, try bumpstarting on a hill.

Sometimes after the carb is completey empty, kick starting doesn't offer enough draw to get the fuel flowing through the carb.

put the carb back on last night, gave 4 kicks this afternoon and she lives!

time to clean the air filter, clean/lube/adjust the chain, and replace the gear oil

anyone else still up for tomorrow? if so, what do we do next? reserve spots?

any idea where I could get some for tomorrow?

the 2 local dealers closed at 4pm

James: if you want to go and are running 32:1, do you mind if I have some? I'll gladly pay you for your troubles

Im probably not going to make it If I do I wont have any premix with me. We have a 426 I need to beat within an inch of its life on the track. I spent some time on it today and couldnt get it going for more then a few seconds. I need to pull the carb and clean it good. The 125 is not really an option for MX with the woods suspension.

[breakdirt916]

that's ok, looks like everyone's out anyhow

but if anyone changes their mind, PM me!

[Awesome]

You're going to beat a 426 on a supercross track? I think you've got that backwards and a big surprise on the way.
