    2 stroke info

    I think one of the most beneficial tips may be to cover 2 stroke tuning. It seems to be one the bigger topics right now. More people going to 2 strokes from 4 strokes.

    I would like tips on carburation (2 stroke), how everything in general works in the carb. I know 3 different jets are used. How exactly?

    Dittos -- How to "read a plug" and setup carburetion! If I had a dime for every time I answered a "what size jet with X mod?" question with "run it and read your plug, run it and read your plug, run it and read your plug" Id be a very wealthy man!

    I know it would be alot of work, but when you get into more detailed things such as rebuiling components pictures would help a great deal! just a thought.---Joe 8)

    Air-fuel mixture issues. From the airfilter to the carb to the reeds.

    I want to see a rear shock rebuilt - Even if I needed some tools I'd like to be able to do the bulk of it and then just get it charged. I do have nitrogen at school - Hmmm????

    You've got another vote for 2-stroke carburation and plug reading. I'm going through that right now with my 89 TRX.
    I like motorbikes!
