She has a blast in there with me, so mommy is starting to realize that she'll have a PW50 sooner then later!!! She probably has a better chance of getting the timing right then I do...

Got my in the mail!! Thanks Adam and scooter5002!!

Those a bitchn twins!!! Very amigo!!!!

If you end up having to go with a Clarke there is no mod needed as I understand. I had to mod the stocker slightly it wasn't bad I just followed the advise of the fellow hoons and took the plunge. Clean the area where you need to mod and heat about a 4 inch radius until it gets a glossy look to it ...

Thanks for the lead. Let me know if I can be of any help with your build.

Good luck with your build, it looks like you took good care of your 97' 250. Where did you get the full side cover decal??? I need one for my gen. 1 that I just finished.

PM sent Adam.

Wassup!! Before I have a machine shop make anything I wanted to know if anyone out there has the motor mount tabs, head stay bracket, swingarm spacers, etc.....GEN 1 AF project needs it!! I would rather give someone here the money for the stuff than to have some random shop make them.

Get with ...

Nice job Rue,you're supposed to ride the wheels off it,not the stator....LOL

I know right!! :lol: :lol: She'll get the wheels rode off as soon as sort out the jetting. I'm going to try 168 Main, 52 Pilot and the DGN needle and hope she runs like a bat out of hell... I was told that I was riding ...

Most of my 500's ran a 172 main at 1900-2000' @ 50-80deg weather. At Coral Pink sand dunes in Ut, it's around 5500-6000', I would run a 165-168 (hot or cold).

:cool: I'll try that, any pinging with the 165-168 at the dunes??

I talked to Chad at Sudco today and he said a good rule of thumb is ...

2 turns out. I'll try the DGN, is it a different taper? 3rd clip from the top as well?

Need help with jetting the PJ Carb.

1988 engine: stock head, jug slightly ported (bought it that way)
Elevation: Approx. 5352 feet above sea level
Now 75 - 85 degrees, Summer: 90-95degrees
Premium Pump Gas 40:1 (AMSOIL - Dominator)

This is how the Carb is set up as of today:
172 Main Jet
55 Pilot ...

I got to take her for a ride this weekend :whoop:!!!! She' gonna be bad ass as soon as I can work out the jetting and triple check every bolt again. The stator backing plate bolts backed out. :oops: not a good thing when you are have a blast on your first ride (after break in) but I made it back to ...

I will give you a full ride report this weekend, and thanks again for the help.

hoofarted wrote:Congrats Dude! Glad you finally got 'er done! Now lets hear some ride reports!

Will do i'll be out there this weekend. Thanks for the help.

3 years might be come kind of record for building a Gen 1,

BUT......

Thats a real nice bike you got, and a daughter, and your still married.

I'd say you did it just right.....

:cool:

I'm sure it is a record :lol:

My daughter has been in the garage helping daddy, she's amazing at 2 years ...

She's finally done boys!!!! I know it's only a gen 1 but when money is tight it’s tight.... :lol: I want to thank all the hoons that have helped me out along the way with their knowledge and parts that made this a reality!!! Hat's off to you boys, no particular order but to name a few...

Anthony ...

Sweet build, we'll all need a full ride report.
