    1986 Tecate 3 feels sluggish

    New Tecate owner. Rebuilt the 34mm vmx carb. Slide looks perfect. DG exhaust. Compression feels good. Just seems low end is rich. It will rev out. My 86 250r feels way more crisp.. it has a Paul turner high rev. Any tips?Click image for larger version.

    Pull the power valve arm cover off the right side of the motor, Regi it up and see if the arm moves. If you need to disassemble the pv arm remember the nut that holds the arm on is LEFT hand thread. You will have a very hard time finding a replacement if you break it.
    Looking for a Bassani silencer for a 2nd gen tecate, the style with the movable mount. 1st gen will work

    Start and warm it up. As you are putting around turn the choke on. Does it get worse or better?
