Winner of the RUTS Euro Scramble!! This is 3rd place after the bomb run going for 1st..So stoked.
Next weekend is the Red Bull Last Dog Standing, I need some cheerleaders!!! Would be super stoked to see some of my boys and girls come check it out!!




Finish line!

 

Good job man! Congrats!

 

Thank you! Was a hot one, was 107 yesterday, thats my excuse for taking 2nd place on Sunday instead of 1st like on Saturday..

 

You didnt cramp up and get carried off the court like Lebron, be proud

 

You know us off-road motorcycle guys are the REAL tough guys!

Still having a tough time dodging all the panties thrown toward me at the finish line!

 

Well that's never a bad thing is it?

 

Well the small ones are all good until you see a fucking cloth hula Hoop coming

 

yeah that'd put a damper on the situation pretty quickly

 

Looks like as good a place as any to take a break.

 

Hit the trails for the first ride of the season yesterday. Gorgeous day to take a ride!

 

well its time to dust off the bike, i got the ok from the doctor to ride again

 

Aftermath of the Denver, NC race yesterday.

 

Im having some problems with my bike, anybody think they can help me diagnose a 2 cylinder 2 stroke.

 

What kind of problems?

 

It only really fires one one cylinder, non firing cylinder will start to fire if i Put my hand over the carb to choke it out, also runs good with the choke on, which really only richens the non firing side.

 

Spark plug, wires, reeds good on non firing cylinder? Sounds like the cylinder not firing could be lean if it's running better with the choke on. Probably doesn't help much as you already stated it runs better with the choke on. What bike?

 

Also the ignition is working on both sides.

 

75 rd350, ive got the air box removed now to try and sync carbs again. When i put my hand over either one it starts to rev high now. But seems to be firing on both sides.

Thanks for the help, I'm a newb to 2 strokes.

 

Do you happen to know the pilot and main jet size and if they are properly cleaned? Needle clip position? IIRC the 350's are very touchy with jet size.
This info was coming from helping a friend a few years back with a very similar problem. He got quite a bit of good info from this site:

Thanks but I guess it was just the carbs needed to be synced a 3rd time, rds have a weird procedure for it. Its working almost properly I guess. Never rode one except my own POS.

Ill have to put the airbox on and see if that changes it tomorrow. I guess the jets are stock didnt see any markings on them when I cleaned the carb.

Its fast as shit though, just popped a little wheelie on it, first time I ever have on a bike.
