Message: [QUOTE="robbieisurfriend, post: 1244059, member: 77317"] My YZ250 is fouling plugs quite often now. I will go through atleast a plug in a day worth of riding which is no bid deal really but sometimes when the plug is getting bad and I try to start it (flooded?) it will backfire. Im wondering if I should buy a gasket kit so that I can inspect the top end before I get a seizure. Is backfiring a really bad thing or just early signs of a problem? I am getting some spooge, (im not sure what a lot is), so it might be a little bit rich. It runs great once it gets started for the first time and as long as you dont stall it out and try to start it. The last owner told me the best way to cold start it and said that it will start 2nd kick everytime. He said to not use the choke, no throttle, and give it one slow kick to get it primed then kick the hell out of it and it will start. This doesnt work for me at all and I usually get it started only after getting it to almost bumpstart then kicking it. Even after it is warm I have to give it some gas for it to start sometimes. If you guys have any tips i would greatly appreciate them because it would save me alot of hassle. Sometimes I get it going with one hard kick but the majority of the time it is a pain in my ass. Oh and the problem is not my kicking, I take my time between kicks and give it, and my foot some serious hell. thanks. [/QUOTE]
