[QUOTE="WR250F_Rider, post: 141100, member: 23304"] Whooo.... I have had some problems with my bike :) Some from bad luck, some 'cuz i am not too bright some times :) A few months ago when I got my bike, I could not start it for ANYthing... I would kick and kick and kick and kick... and it wouldn't start.. I bump started it a few times, and after I ran it some... it finally started getting easier to start. now I use the EXACT same method I did when the bike was new... and it starts 1st or 2nd kick everytime :) I guess it needed breaking in. Now comes the not too bright part. I read all these posts here, and decided that changing my timing to the YZ timing would be easy enough for a guy like me with very little mechanical experience... I was wrong. Somewhere in the process, I screwed it up... fortunately for me my buddy knows more about engines than me, and he was able to come over and help me revert it back to stock timing :) then I started her up and went for a ride... and I stupidly forgot to turn the choke off when I went riding... DOH!!!... and after a while it started missing, and finaly died (After I had apparently fouled the plug). I replaced the plug, and now it runs pretty good I think... I have heard others talk about a "dead spot"... I do have this dead spot on my bike, and also, it doesnt seem to run perfectly smooth all the time... I don't know if this is normal or not. Current config: 2000 WR250F -exhaust tip removed -removed plastic airflow thingie from the air filter area. I am curious If I (and my more knowledgeable bike mechanic buddy) need to do anything to my carb settings? what about doing the grey wire removal thing? And what about the throttle stop? Any suggestions on all this? If I replace the throttle stop with the one from the YZ would that work? If so... has anyone bought one ever? any idea how much that'd cost, or should I try and cut my existing stop? Thanks for the info... love this message board. :) [/QUOTE]
