viewtopic.php?t=5610 this is the original thread, its alot to read through.
i got it out in the wet grass after i let it warm up a bit and hit the throttle... it took off like a raped ape, got up to top speed and slammed on the brakes and did a pretty sweet power slide nearly flipping it on its maiden voyage haha.
for some reason it will accelerate really quick, but it wont idle down very fast.. and when it does idle down it dies...? why is this?

here are the pics of the finished product.

lol nope, not the same one. Ill never sell this! I found out why it wouldn't idle... it was REALLY simple. I didnt plug the crank vaccum haha. I took it out on its maden voyage tonight about 10-15 mins and a distance of 3 miles or so. The plug looked great. It ran better and better the longer i had it out! just a few minor tweaks here and there and its 100% :) I cant wait to get it out on some nice loose gravel!

I will do a bit of preaching here...

Before you go and spend money on making it faster, Get some wrist restraints and put them on this and the 350 BEFORE you break an arm and can't work/ride!!!


OK Now wonderful job nice looking 250!!!
