Because it spills gas out on the motor, quite a bit. If it does it hot the chance of a fire is high. Performance is fine, runs strong and clean, idles smooth.

Thanks Fire, that has to be it as the other spots on that part of the carb are blocked . But I don't understand why gas would back up through that spot unless it is an intermittent float needle sticking open. The diagram isn't clear enough to see if the float bowl has access to that spot to...

I have a leak from the carb that occurs only occasionally. Actually this is the second time it has happened, and I have ridden the bike several times in between. The carb is leaking through this orifice that is circled. If it leaks it leaks for a short time then stops. The shop manual...

Just a follow-up. The T-fitting I bought will work. I ended up not changing out the factory t-hose as it was still supple, no cracks or signs internally or externally of rot. But if you need to change that hose, save your 40.00+, and use a 1/4 inch fuel T with 1/4 inch fuel line and you will...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Sounds like noone has come up with a great option for the over priced factory fuel line. I ordered the fuel line T in the pic. IF it works I'll post a pic. If not, I'll bite the bullet and get the factory part. The dimensions of this T are going to be close...

I'm replacing all the fuel lines on the bike. I was going to order the circled piece, but they want 48.00 for it. Have any of you come up with a good option? Looking at brass t-fitting, but concerned it may be too large. I figured someone may have come up with a good fix, and rather than me...

I wasn't aware of that, Sean. I knew you were the specialty parts guy. But had no idea you did just general parts. Good to know.

Ok, thanks guys. I will give some of your recommendations a try.

Thanks for the suggestions. Bike Bandit went belly up awhile ago, I had used them in the past and they were always spot on. But a lot of peeps lost money when they went broke.

I have been waiting for parts from Partzilla for 2 weeks on items they listed at the time as them having in stock. This is the second time this has happened in the last 2-3 months. Partzilla was one of my go to sites for my vintage MX restoration business. But I stopped doing those in 2019...

Oh, I read the entire article (actually saved it) and saw that.

It's nice to see someone else that is a two-stroke lover. Thanks for the detailed post. The air/fuel mix levers are pretty cool. But man, your spidey senses need to be on fire to make sure you don't get one cylinder just a touch wrong, especially if you are running at the ragged edge.

And the plate has to be lighted during hours of darkness.

I only use a group 4 or 5 synthetic in all my vehicles. And if it's used in a bike with a wet clutch, it's JASO rated, preferably a MA2. A few group 4 or 5 synthetics are Motul, Amsoil, Mobil 1, and there are others.

Cool, thanks!

An additional question. I have read that if one lowers 2 inches in the front the front fender may contact the radiator under heavy suspension compression, i.e. big bumps, heavy braking etc. My question is, will the front tire make contact with the radiator in this situation as well? In...

Hey, we both can agree that any oil is better than no oil.😁😉 In my post one point was fact, the other was opinion. We can agree to disagree on the issue of Rotella in a bike. As to the other point it is a fact that a JASO rated oil is safe for wet clutches, regardless if synthetic or not.

Since I have come to the forum, I have read many posts on motor oils. I have also learned from past experience that discussing motor oils on a forum is like discussing politics or religion at a family reunion, one should just not do it. But part of a forum is to share information for the...

Ok, thanks guys!

not sure why it double posted the pic. Mods feel free to make it one pic
