    Nice, I do like it. I just bought a 1985 250sx and thought, "I'll strictly be using it for hauling crap" but now that I am driving it for fun (runs like crap) I'm having a blast lol.. I have been thinking of rebuilding it ground up like you..

    Its running today. Needs some jetting work. Going to bring it to honda because i dont have the time or knowledge to do that part. Probably cost me 100 plus, but i want to be riding it, not screwing with it. Rode the hell out of though while i could.
