My 250R lives!

[crackshot]

Got it all together today. Put new dowel pins in it because the guy I bought it from obliviously only installed one and it needed two of them.
Copper coated all gaskets. Lined up pins on rings and cylinder slid on like butter. Piece of cake,
Completely cleaned airbox, hose, filter and oiled filter up real good and squeezed out all excess oil. Blasted out carb with carb cleaner.
Installed NGK iridium plug.
Fired up on 4th kick. Sounds real good. Nice and tight.
Ran for 8 minutes and got it up to temp. Letting it cool down now and will re-torque bolts for insurance.
Will warm it up again and take it for a light ride here in a few.
Might load it up an take to MX test track and break it in more tonight.

Re-torqued bolts and are still in spec.
Got about 1 hour on top end now and only opened up 1/2 throttle blurts before shifting to higher gear.
Going to give it some more ride time on it tomorrow.

I wish mine were as fortunate.
