[dirtbiken]

That aint bad. yeah if it is a eletrical issue it is the most issue and is it sometimes a pain to fix. but like you said kill switch and wirk down to the starter and you will get er runnin. Hey what is wrong with your sis blaster?

Its the blaster that has the eletrical issue. Not the 250r.

Score for a BUCK FIFTY!

what about rippin it apart painting the frame and findin a togther and running motor to plop in there? By the time you bore it clean up other misc internals and go threw the bottom end you may be better off finacially just pickin up another mill and having a parts motor.... just a thought, plus you'd be riding sooner.

One thing is that I CAN NOT work on it till I fix my sister's blaster. So pretty much I CAN NOT touch it. I don't want to buy a motor. Why? Because It's fun to tear motor's apart go through em and figure out whats wrong and stuff. And I have limited funds. It took me foreveeevvver to save up 1,000$ to use on a restore like this. PLUS this is a mugen 310 kit thats on this motor. Mugen kits are reeealy rare so this motor will be gone though bottom and top end. The Finished product should be nice.

I found this little surprise when I took the head off, but nothing a little head decking and chamber resurfacing can't fix


The cylinder is pretty banged up, but nothing a little cylinder boring can't fix


You can see where the piston got lodged in the cylinder bore


Do you think I could just use a buffer wheel to clean the cylinder skirt, or would I have to buy a whole new sleeve


I have never seen steel reeds, nor have I seen this kind of setup. So can you guys help me identify this kind of setup and brand?

[xr132]

Stock 250r came with steel reeds like that. I'd guess they're just stock?

I did some digging and your top end isn't a Mugen. The Mugen cylinders were stamped with Mugen on the side with the Kanji and had 6 bolt cylinders. The Mugen kits came as 250cc or 360cc kits. Your cylinder has 7 bolts. I found an ad that looks just like your top end. It's a Dico 300R kit. Here is the ad.

Doh! I Must be very dumb right now. Well I guess a dico 300r is rare to I guess. lol

300 air fooler sleeves and kits gettin a little rare? If you love it, fix it and ride it, or you could part it out to fund a waterpumper build!

I have always wanted a 1986 250R. But all the nice and cheap one's are over 6 hours away from me. As for the sleeve I think I could use a kustom kraft sleeve.
I guess I'm give gonna the motor a nice re-build put it in my other and maybe put it in my other 250r along with some other parts and then part the rest of out. Sigh*

[dcreel]

I'd put a new sleeve in it and run it. Regardless of it being Dico, which was an awesome company back in the day. I'd say it's pretty rare and should be stout too with the 7 bolt cylinder and head. You've still got a 300R, and for the price you paid, you still got a serious deal. I wonder if it would take an overbore?

I'm pretty sure it will take a over bore. I'm hoping maybe 20. over. Also can you tell me if I can just use a buffer wheel on the jug skirt? It's pretty rustic. Just look in that one pic.

[dcreel]

I don't see why you couldn't as long as you don't remove more material than the original od of the sleeve. I had a thought, what about electrolysis? I haven't used this method myself but people I know who have say it's nothing short of amazing.

Just a thought.

Never herd of that. Cool Idea too.

I also found this craigslist

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/ssd/mcy/1758088399.html

I'm hoping he'll take 1,200 or 1,000 bucks. But then on the other hand theres this one http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/mcy/1754846508.html witch is a bit rougher but is quite a bit cheaper.

[dcreel]

That 86 for $500 is a great deal. Snatch that one up.
