Sounds like the jetting to me.... Ever clean the air filter out? You should clean the air filter after every ride and don't use gas because it eat's away the material that they use on filters.... Get a new spark plug... maybe a hotter one, don't go too hot or else it will mess your piston up. Sounds like jetting to be though, but take your plug ouy and if it is burning black really bad then on your main jet needle, move the clip UP one because moving it up will lean it out. Try that out and let me know if that works man. Oh yeah and for the jetting it is either clogged or if the weather changes like it get's cold and it does that in the winter then that's what it is and I don't know if you will need to make the main jet or the pilot bigger or smaller because I would have to ride it to know. Call a local shop and ask them about the best jetting and tell them the year of the bike etc. I hope that was a help to you, just let me know if that helped the problem. Oh yeah talking about dirt bikes, wan't a 89 Husqvarna 510 Dual Sport?

Thanks for the compliments on my 46. I have a ways to go on it but most of the fun is getting there. I have done a rear end upgrade and a new small block is on a stand waiting to go in. As soon as I have time I’m going to pull the front end and get started. Below is big pic of the 46.

Damn man that is such a sick ass ride! You better keep an eye on it because I know where Sac is at because I used to live near there and I will steal the thing. haha just messing but yeah dude email me some pics when you do more to it.... A 1 inch chop on the top would look good as well and tinted windows. Are you going to put slicks or double wides on the back or no? What are your plans for it? I wan't a 37 Chevy so bad. I saw one here at the Lowes Motorspeed way show and this guy had a 37 Chevy truck for sale for 28,000..... so damn nice, but yeah he said that they only made about 300 of them and there are only about 100 or around there left and he told me to look around at every car and said he would sell the truck to me for 18,000 or something around there if I found another 37 there and I didn't. (I thought I did one time and my heart dropped but when I got up to it in small words it said Ford ) Ok I am getting mad because I don't have one I am going to stop talking about them.

Thanks, I got sunday off, maby my dad and I can pull it out of storage ( The shed ) and try ajusting the main jet. When my dad bought the bike it ran great, started 2'nd or 3'rd kick and just ran great but, after about 3 weeks it started cutting out and loosing power, he thinks it's the reeds but, I don't think so. We have rebuilt & cleaned the carb 2 times but, still the same thing. We have also never checked the plug or cleaned the air cleaner, guess we better do that to.

I am looking in to getting a YZ 250F or a CRF250R. FMX are those any good? i want a bike that is fast and good for jumps but i also want one to go trail riding so thats why i want the 4 stroke if i just wanted to do motocross i would get a CR KX YZ OR RM 125

Check the reeds too man, your dad is right because reeds will do that as well... I forgot to add that. But anyways those YZ250F's are nice they are faster than a regular YZ 125 and better for racing, but if you wan't to do FMX and hit big jumps then I wouldn't prefer one. Some people do FMX with 4 strokes but I am more of a 2 stroke person because those YZ250f's need lot's of care, it's not like some other XR or other 4 strokes where the engine won't blow for a year or more, these will blow engines almost as fast as 2 strokes I hear if you ride them hard. I always just stick to 2 strokes, but that doesn't matter because it's what YOU wan't not me so your best bet is to go around and find people selling them and ask them to test ride one and ride the 250 F"s and the 125 two strokes so that way you have a feel for all of the bikes. I you go with a 125 then I prefer a YZ, they have more power than the CR's do because the engines on the CR's are gutless and have no power at all but are more comfortable than a YZ and the suspension is a bit better. Just remember though, it's 10% bike and 90% rider. If you got any other questions then just ask and I will answer, hope that helped some.

Oh yeah if you are wanting a real good race bike then don't forget about KTM, they have the best power and everything on them and come with Excel rims and everything besides the bars on then stock are real good and they haul ass. The only thing about a KTM is the way they sit, they are set up for racing so they make you lean forward more and feels like you will get thrown over the bars so it takes a lot of getting used to and the suspension isn't the best but still really good but if you send it off to like Independent Race Shop or Pro Action then they can set it up to your weight, size, etc. Anther good race bike is a YZ too. But like I said before, it's going to be what you like so what I just put is my own two cents.

thanks i am not going to consider a 2 stroke because i want to go on trails and stuff to. is the CRF 250 any good?

The CR250F is a sick bike, I think they are the same as the YZ250F's or a bit better but either one is a great bike. Don't get a CRF230 or none of those though because the suspension is the worste and not good for jumping at all and if you hit a tree or anything they will bend, but you can always bend them back too. CR250F is a good bike man, get one of those if that's what you plan on doing is trails and all.
