2 Strokes Down Under

Yes, the last thing I want is a holy piston or two!!

Brainfade, sorry. It's an '84 model of course. Oz market, Pre power jet. I have a Haines manual but it's for RZ350 only. I'm running 180mj (I have 155mj that I could try) Also, float height... I set mine to 21mm but that was referring to the later 350 carb specs so could be wrong, any ideas on this?...

In my efforts to pin this RZ250 down perfect... (it's running pretty nicely, but I'm still chasing a slight lack of power under load at WOT - feels 'heavy' - sound rich to you?). Thinking maybe I need to change the main jet. It pulls cleanly through the gears. Smokes a bit when cold but no smoke whe...

It'll be sad to see this go, but my health forces sale.

Oh dear heart I'm a bit restless thinking of the tasty Benelli that got split to go into this project!

I can't believe that they've been SO stupid!
In one stroke they have just trashed their brand, everyone despises 'bucket now, for good reason.
The brand manager should be shot. (Or maybe there is some other more devious marketing plan behind it all, but really, I doubt that they're that clever!)

James sorry if I sounded offensive. Don't take it all too personally. Each of us has our strengths, weaknesses and talents. And our own valid point of view. Nowadays we're surrounded by all sorts of 'restored' machinery that is the result of deep pockets, not the result of deep effort. It's reflecte...

Absolutely nice package with very useful spares, worth every cent I'd say.

F/B Is a worse ripoff even than Photobucket -It's just that people don't actually 'get it' yet!

Hah! If you think Photobucket are ripoff merchants (which they are), try Adobe... Wow!!!

Phew!

Just be aware that external links could be trouble. Why not use the IMG tag?

Shame the pics don't work.

I think Ultrasonic cleaners are only as good as the 'pickle' solution you use.

Well, it turned out to be one carb slide had dropped of it's cable. Horrible little spring clips on the slides lost their tension, so I just re-tensioned them. But I wouldn't have expected my symptoms with one slide not moving, or perhaps somehow a venturi effect pulled it up once the other cylinder...
