well i just went out and tinkered with it and its seems worse than last nite, i put the gauge on it and it says 65 lbs. !!!!!! i must have some stuck rings or something bad. well i guess this bike aint gonna go to the hill tomorrow. it was on its last bore anyway so here goes the bidding wars for a ...

You'll get it. It just takes some time and testing. :wink: EVERY thime I see someone having to resort to "Odd Ball" jetting to make the bike run, something was major SNAFU somewhere else... You sure you have the piston facing the right way? yes arrow to exhaust, all the good stuff, no cra...

i dont know man,i have no starting poin as it is all out of whack... i am really frustrated i leave for a climb tomorrow and i might have to leave the bike home if it aint gonna run. i could puke i soaked over 600 into it over the winter and now it runs worse than when i tore it apart. :bash: it was...

it isnt. im not stupid.........it was out of whack all around, it had no top end at all until changing the main. now it will not idle and dies when letting out the clucth unless at half throttle. and the top still isnt right it is sputtering and blubbering, all that seems to work right is the mid ra...

yeah i put that together after my first reply....dee de deee i couldnt get mine to run right till i put a 160 in it. and ittl go to 158 up at widowmaker. dosent that sound lean to you? but as it sets with the 160 the plug looks perfect.

hey, i live in landlocked utah man, i dont know what a pismo is...
is it like a chevy vega?

whats the elevation at pismo? im at 5800-6100

ok, I ran it to do the heat, coo,l heat, cool, break in procedure. And it was really rich. I leaned it out got it to have good mid and top but it dies off bottom when letting out the clutch. could the pilot need changed too? I didnt think it would be that different after porting and a bore..it was j...

well i grew up riding oldies like yz 465-490's and before that i did hare scrambles and desert raced a bultaco 370, so compared to those its a dream bike, i personally like the 88's conventional forks to the upside downers for desert riding. it feels so much cushier than the new af's.

love the "MEFAST" sticker on the pull starter!!! :lol: i built my own using a toyota starter and a starter button from checker, 2 inline 12 volt batteries bungeed to a dolly, sold it with my old xr600 climber. btw polish and round the edges of your starter nut!! it aint pretty if the socke...

the yammie look adds 4 h.p.

thanx, gotta love the 88!

I finally got the motor finished and fired up tonite. 3rd hard kick and it came to life, a few seconds later puking green all over. i had forgotton to tighten the big hose. fixed that and fired it again, sounds alright needs to be jetted a little but its close. im just happy as hell to hear it run a...

when they measure is it center of axle to center or outside to outside? how does the go- no go stick work? this is the first time i will have to be measured, i always ran open -x before.

well it goes from 65-1/2 to 66-1/4 , i had no time and low money so we took two swingarms and made one.

i just wish i would have made it a half inch shorter, i didnt measure with me on it when planning it so with me on it it is 65 1/2" axle to axle. it should be fine if i dont have a picky inspector at the line.

heres my + 6" swingarm i just got it back from my welder, it is truly a thing of beauty, almost looks factory nearly seamless.

i already relieved the bridge, i have 9 days till widowmaker and dont have it together yet. my crank seals and oil seals just came in tonite so i can have the thing ready to bolt in by this time tomorrow. i just got my swingarm back from being extended and it is nice! 65-3/4 " axle to axle full...

ive got it at 0.003 rigt now but feels way too tight by hand, i think ill open it up to 12- 15 what do you think? too much?

what is the piston clearance supposed to be on a vertex piston? it came with no instructions. same as wiseco or is cast different?

longer stones for sure, thats what I need. mine are riveted in though so I think I will have to just get a new one. I hate breaking in new stones though, I usually use it in a trash cyl. first to break the rough edges off and to saturate the stones with oil.

my buddy used those pirelli "dirt paddles" last year at widowmaker, they worked awesome to get through the loose powder at the start of the hill but up in the rocks it got chunked up pretty bad, after the 2nd run it was missing a lot of knobs.

I would think that it would have a detrimental affect on a two stroke by adding fuel where it isnt needed, causing a rich spot and maybye a bog.
