Basically had to ignore my ego and listen to my conscience on this one.
(The 2016 KX450F in the background is for sale and a new avatar is forthcoming).
Ironically (or perhaps not) my last 2-stroke was a 2006 YZ250 that I bought new. This one's an 07'. Thing was flooding bad. Previous owner said the brass overflow tube in the float bowl broke and he fabricated a replacement. I discovered that the replacement was a uniform cylinder and it was bottomed out, effectively sealing off the overflow exit (imagine putting a straw down on the palm of your hand). The tube has since been modified & the overflow now passes fluid. Ready to rip!
