[QUOTE="joe28kdx, post: 705777, member: 25054"] I just got a 2000 ATK 250 a few weeks ago. It's really loud, so before we abused the snow here in NEPA, I thought I repack the silencer. When I got it apart, it had a ton of spooge and carbon in it. I scrapped a pile of the loose spooge off, but the holes in the tube were blocked and the spark arrestor was loaded with carbon. I tried oven cleaner, lacquer thinner, (my cure all!) wire brush, scrapping it, poking the holes with a wire. I was losing the battle, it would have taken me all day just to make it 1/2 good. Then it hit me like a branch across the goggles! I took the inner tube and spark arrestor outside, and hit it with the torch! You gotta becareful, I don't know if it was the thinner or spooge, but it flamed up nicely! I heated everything to a slight orange glow and let it air cool, (didn't take long in 25 degrees!) I tapped ,wired brushed, and slightly scrapping and it came really clean. Repacked it and TA-DA! Nice quiet bike and it has more umph to boot! The best part was I got to play with FIRE! How cool is that??!! Joe Sticks and stones may break my bones. That's why I only hit trees and rocks! [/QUOTE]
