[QUOTE="wileyE, post: 1257423, member: 44064"] Based on the info you posted (or lack of). I wouldn't write the head/cams off just because it smoked a little at start up after sitting for years. Also a little spit back through the carb is normal and called reversion, especially if your watching it without the filter or box. I say little though. The intakes valves may be tight, the float level high or float valve sticking. In the day those things trucked, I had open two strokes (400 430 490) and my buds xr500 could usually run me in a drag race. Not because they had more hp, because what they had found the ground. The 23" rim is a novelty, I'd leave it (if you can find tires. [/QUOTE]
