It's not April 1st, is it? That's why it's called "Mystery" oil... it's a mystery that anyone believes claims like that... It will not fix bad/worn/tensionless oil rings or scratches in the cylinder. Two weeks, one week, 5 minutes...whatever mystery sauce happens to leak past said worn rings...

I did my son's little yellow DS80 rear fender that was sun burned. Started with a razor scraper pulled backwards (yes, the fender was almost white), getting a majority of the white off. Followed up with 220 wet, then 400, then 2000 (way too fine, but it's all I had), then Meguiar's Diamond Cut...

Hmmm, having a tough time myself... Wondering which one she is in the pic, the one on the left or the one on the right?

Price probably is not out of line. They go for $200-500ish around here depending on condition. I had an X2, which was the same basic lower hull with a "sit down" (and I use that term loosely LOL) upper and dirtbike style handlebars. Be careful, they WILL blow your shorts off when learning how...

Yup, I did only the top end on mine. Bore was standard, only a wee little ring ridge. I just honed 'er and let it rip.

Valve adjustment has nothing to do with the seals. I'd look more towards weak oil rings. Mine had a shitload of compression (top rings were great) but oil rings had NO tension left in them (stock originals) and smoked like a freight train.

NOT mine, btw! http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/2944723000.html

The Shindy valves that I put in mine had the identical markings on the head that the OE ones had. Fleabay, around $27/set I think. Both may have been sourced from the same overseas vendor...

Not my stuff, just trying to help out. Mount Pleasant is located southeast of Pittsburgh, PA. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/mcy/2900908413.html

Sure, why not? Fogger kit? Plug the empty 3 fuel/giggle gas solenoid ports and let 'er eat! Can't imagine a small shot would hurt a thing. Ran one on a bone stock 900 Ninja back in the day (cast pistons, stock timing, etc.). May need a colder plug.

Just breakin' yer stones, bub. My WR200RD basket case is a 1 year wonder too. Sorry I have no input to the swap idea. I do know that era ('84-86ish) YZ250 makes for a real tractable engine if you can get around those roadblocks. The '84 on the right in my avatar was much easier to ride than...

I feel good about myself now! You'ze a glutton for punishment! :eek: :iagree: :haha: :tup:

This says pilot jet increase needed. Look at the carb. The pilot meters what is discharged past the screw's taper. Still may have leaky intake issue too (?). Sounds like needle height would have little to do with this symptom, main jet even less. Go fatter on the pilot till she gags at/off...

Stumbles ONLY when you blip the throttle? Can you "sneak up" on the revs and will it run mid/high RPM? Sounds like an accelerator pump circuit issue to me. Have you verified that the nozzle is discharging properly? The circuit is very tiny. Might be plugged a little. Just a thought.

Could be either: 1) cracked intake manifold 2) improper float level 3) crud in carburetor
