[QUOTE=bigdaddyvw185;1272634]thanks for the tip for the dealer, always glad to take any tips for dealers that could potentially have parts.



Below are three of the biggest discontinued oem parts stocking dealers in the world. Most other oem "suppliers" typically buy from one of these here once orders come in then resell them to the one that ordered them. I thought I posted them much earlier for you but can't remember.

Hope your holidays are safe and fun.

Your paint work looks very nice.

You can also try Partzilla too if you haven't already.

that was one of the the first places i tried, they only had 2 of the 8 things i needed, the idle gear cir clip - 23225-430-000, and the washer (B 22mm) - 90455-ML7-000.

This is the first I've seen of this thread. I read through it quickly so if I missed something, forgive me.
You are correct in the fact that an fl350 intake boot would be a direct bolt on. It would be your best bet. I know for a fact that the 38 air striker will fit on it nicely. There will, however, be an issue with the throttle cable clearing the frame. You will eventually encounter this. The next thing you will encounter is that the airbox will not fit with this combination without some serious modification if at all.
If this is your first 2stroke, you may want to read as much as you can tolerate about 2stroke tuning / jetting. It might save you several expensive trips to your engine builder.
I would also recommend using more oil rather than less. I wouldn't use any less than 32-1 and when you finally decide on the type and brand of oil and the mixture....stick with it. After you have that all figured out it should be safe to tune it. With a 2stroke , any time you change something, you will probably have to mess with the jets or maybe a carb adjustment. They are a blast but they do take just a little more work.
Something else I didn't see mentioned was tire size and type and gearing. I'm sure that is something that will come up also and that along with jetting etc. is all part of the tuning process.

I've seen plenty of guys over the years throw gobs of money and put tons of effort into their 250Rs and in theory they should be the biggest and baddest one out there only to be giver up on because the owner was never able to get everything dialed in properly and they either ruin a perfectly good top end or they just don't run worth a crap.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to discourage you on this build. It's just that I know what these machines are capable of, when properly set up. It just takes a little more effort in the set-up and tuning than some people are willing to put into it.

This is my sons 84 300R. He built it when he was in his mid 20s. I believe it was finished in 2008. I'm not sure if you have ever seen it or heard about it before but I know there some guys on this forum that have and some that have raced against it. Every detail was gone over and over and over before it reached this point. We spent countless hours bouncing ideas back and forth and watching videos of it in action in the process. The only mechanical failure it has had since it was finished was a broken clutch cable.

I can personally say that Hartley's (Daddio's son) 300R bike has beaten not only my 300r but any other bike I raced him on. over and over again lol. that bike was mean! Really well put together, you two knew what it took to build a runner

[bigdaddyvw185]

Not going to lie, i am nervous as all hell about the tuning process. and yes it is my first 2 stroke which makes me even more nervous.... i am down right horrified lol.... i am not planning on running it until the spring time when temps get warmer, and so i can read as much as possible on the jetting / tuning process. last thing i wanna do is rush into it and have it end bad... i am working on having my builder walk me threw the process of tuning, i even talked with him about bringing the trike back up to him in the spring time to assist in the initial start up and tune.... i have done research on tuning but i am not about to even say that i am even remotely comfortable with the process....i am much more comfortable with 4 strokes. I am almost positive i have seen your sons trike before daddio, by chance is you and your sons trike on the Flotek website, i am almost positive that is where i saw it. awesome trike by the way!

i wish i even knew someone nearby me that has owned a 2 stroke for a long period of time that i could turn to for help when the time comes to tune. i just need to keep reading up on the subject!

Here's a shot of my 300r with Hartleys 4snows on it at tf2008 since we are posting 300's in here lol Hartley was awesome enough to let me borrow his mid drag race so I could race!

thanks man! I saved it to my computer, now i need to figure out how to rotate it so i can read it without have to tilt my head lol. easy enough, saved it to my documents and rotated that bad boy

[JasonB]

print that off and go read on the couch lol

here is an exellent one. I would recommend you START here. its from the cr500 boards, but its universal and not cr5 centric. go get reading! I read this one over and over, it covers everything you really need to know for any carb tunning

**EDIT sorry for whoring up your thread lol. Jetsrus.com is where i get my jets and needles from, just go buy a handful of sizes up and down from your projected setting so you can tinker. thiat is the fun part!

[bigdaddyvw185]

thanks jason, will be reading!!

got the gas tank all finished up this afternoon

Yes. That is the one. I think that was in 08. He raced all summer that year and by the end of the year we had everything on that thing dialed in, including him. The following year it was a real hand full.

Daddio: That is ONE SWEET AIR-HAMMER! Very nice!

Now knock it off guys! You are all getting me wanting one BADLY! LOL!
