Is tuning a 2 stroke similar to 4 strokes? Can you do that little idle trick (turn the air/fuel screw while its idling and note the rpm change.
With the older 2smokes i have never found they that they allow a "blip" of the throttle from idle otherwise they'll choke, but then again i never used to play with jetting when i was kid, just ride until it stops then give it to dad and say "FIX PLEASE" it's kind of like you have to get the revs up a touch b4 hitting full throttle then the band kicks in and it'll use as much juice as the carby throws at it.allright then so pretty much the same then. Took the kdx250 for a good burn today and did a quick turn and guess of the mixture screw which was not bad but top end at WOT would start to hunt and choke but that could be an airflow problem. Also when whipping the throttle open it chokes so I'm guessing it is probably a touch rich so will do some plug reading.
Cheers guys
On Older 2 strokes or ones with plenty of use the expansion chambers gum up with years of carbon.
We use to burn the carbon out when I was younger. Used to make a huge difference.
Not sure if our method was correct. Surelly was not safe but as a teenager was fun.
Fill it with fuel and light it. Nah just kidding. But if you do this method please film it and post here.pulling em off and chucking on the fire? or was you more delicate likes?

you need to do it on a windy day, as the smoke is very thick and smelly (burning oil)
So not in the garage then? Or in the housing complex?
lol^, yeah the bloke I bought it off siad he had burnt the carbon out and cleaned it but isn't really sure if he did a real good job or not, nor am I so I think I might give this a shot. I'll just have to go get one of these gas bottle torch things. may as well do my ds80 while I'm at it.
ah, the good old days, riding around on a DS80 whilst on a powerful mind altering substance . i got video evidence that it enhanced my riding skills!
