no, the 4 stroke carb was not designed for a 2 stroke. There are better alternatives that were designed for your 2 stroke, like the pwk and air stryker

Only asking as my throttle keeps sticking and its not the cable or twist grip so I assume the slide sticks when running fast. Never tried the CRF one yet.

slide is worn or needle is bent , maybe dirt in the slide.

I doubt you will get the fcr to run on the 500 at all. don;t waste your time, it was designed for a stronger vacuum signal, half as often, and also has a accelerator pump.

do get your throttle fixed though

and if you managed to get the fcr to run it would have a push/pull throttle :barf:
in case you dont know they are garbage
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.
4stroke=dead fish
