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
