Cleaned the carb and air filter, changed the jets, changed the oil. Started 3rd kick! Front wheel came up in 3 gears!
Adam, do you modify cr250 frames?

Frigin rights!!

Fantastic job!!! Can you take a couple of pictures of the die you used to bend the cradle? I have a pipe bender but need to build a die for square tubing.

Thanks Les.

I can see the grit around the whipper but didn't know if you could do that.

I changed my kids fork seals last year and now the one side is leaking again What is a good seal besides OEM to use?

Thanks Les.

Thanks Johnny! The needle you suggested worked great. How can I keep the idle screw from falling out?

Finally got a chance to ride today. With a 42 pilot, air screw 1.5 out, 170 main and a DGM needle in the 3rd position she seems to pull pretty hard. Starts with choke on second kick. I haven't checked the plug yet. Thanks to everyone for the help. One thing is the idle screw feel out on me, luckly t...

Does anyone run Engine ice or is it junk?

You could buy a complete bike for half that cost!

I have those marks in my cylinder as well. Roosty will tell you what they are. He just did my top end and they are still there.

Thanks Bob. I managaged to get the broken plastic screw out and went to a local bike scrap yard, I found a brass throttle screw from an old bing Italian carb that fit perfect but my bike will still not idle. I don't think it's long enough. I will be ordering the screw that you gave me the part numbe...

I just tried ordering the short one and it said they can't ship to my address??? I guess I will have the call them.

Bob, quick question, long or short zip Ty screw?

Did both those things. The head broke off and the tip broke and is now stuck inside. I just had the whole ass end of the bike off to take the carb out. Now I have to do it all again. I just hope once the slide is out I can get the plastic tip out.

Thanks for the help so far!

Well, I got a 48 pilot today so I put her in. I also raised the clip to the top of the needle. It doesn't smoke like Adam's Manitoba mosquito fogger anymore, but the fricken plastic idle screw broke in 3 places :evil: The bike would just barely idle so I tried to give the screw one more turn and sna...

Thanks for the replies! I will be ordering jets and needles tomorrow.

I will try that Bob. That plastic screw is weak. I was adjusting it and one side of the head broke off.

Gregg, I couldn't get it to run without giving it some throttle, so I was not able to play with the airscrew much.

Thanks Johnny, I will try the new needle and pilots.

1 1/2 out

I tried a 45 and had a hard time starting it. Once I got it running it still won't idle. I will pick up a 48 and a 50 to try. I tried to adjust the throttle cable so it would at least idle but I was maxed out on the adjuster.

Anyone running a PWK 38mm Air striker at around 3200ft? I got my top end back from Roosty and added V-Force reeds, FMF pipe/silencer and new carb. It came with 170 main, 55 pilot, clip in the middle. Once I got it started the bike will not idle. Searched through the jetting threads and Bob posted a ...

Ya, I pulled the sub frame back but it was a bitch non the less.

What a pain in the ass that was installing my new PWK carb with the 10mm spacer used for the reeds!!!

Thanks gentlemen!
