i have a 94 rm 250 that i have been working on for a bit, i think all my electrical problems are solved, but it isn't running quite right yet. i recently did a tear down and found that my exhaust valve was stuck again. the rod that moves the arm works fine, but there is a spring that has broken. can a exhaust valve be set wide open? would it still run? also when i took out the motor i sealed the intake boot with a bag and happened to turn over the motor and it showed a vaccume then it showed pressure. should the reeds seal tightly or just when its running (more back pressure to seal)? any help would be great! thanks :think:
