mj4trax said:Nice thread. I like the "spooge 101" link for sure.
I wonder how much of the "spooge" is due to the flash point on the oil. I've noticed varying amounts of spooge without changing oil mixture ratio's or jetting. Right now I'm running Maxima K2 and it creates a lot of spooge. Has anybody else experimented with this??

The 02/03 RM250 can be very picky about fuel and jetting. I had an 02 that was tough to get jetted right. I think it might have something to do with the porting as these bikes have a pretty hard hitting mid-top tune. I would bet some good 2-stroke race fuel, a quality premix and an afternoon of jetting would clear it right up, as long as the engine passes a leak down test.mj4trax said:My bike is a '03 RM250. . .. brother bought a '02 RM250 (mint condition. .. less than 10 hrs on it). . . other brother bought a '89 RMX250 and our friend bought an '01 CR250.
Three of the four of us own TRX250 quads for the past decade or so. . . the spooge is new to every one of us.

1998RM250 said:how do your plugs look after a ride on a fresh plug? From what i've learned in the past few days about proper jetting, and reading plugs I can say all of my bikes must have been running rich. Either way they still seemed to run right though, so I don't understand. After a ride today on a fresh plug and experimenting with moving the needle clip up a notch it ran better with less splooge, but the plug was still a little wet. I also can't figure out why i'm getting some "blowby" around the spark plug on top when its nice and snug in the cylinder head? Getting an oily ring around the plug...
whenfoxforks-ruled said:100 heads will not fix spooge. Unless its been improperly modded. The spooge is blowing out the spark plug because its not sealed. Wrong torque or damaged threads would be the safe bet? On an MX race bike, if its blowing spooge, it is a safe bet 1 of 2 things is going on. 1, You are not riding it correctly? Trying to trail ride a stock MX race bike can load the bike up and spooge. 2, Something between the carb and silencer needs replacing. It will run A LOT better fixed properly. Vintage Bob
