318 turns in 11 miles. I do a 2-stroke week there every year. Took the "wheelie" machine there this year.

By popular demand: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZN2lq4sR3I&list=UUnCDdAXB8jP_I9hcAlX5QDQ And 4 days later: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sShisVbR4iU&list=UUnCDdAXB8jP_I9hcAlX5QDQ

Just finished today - yes the wheelie bars are required! http://boulier.com/minibikes/done1.jpg http://boulier.com/minibikes/done2.jpg

We can close this one. I ordered another VM22-133 from another supplier, installed it today and it works. I still need to box in the main and clip settings but I'm close. Understand I have 40+ years experience working on VMs - I have a lot of bike with them - I KNOW these carbs and there's not...

After tons of trying different jets and starting to think this new Mikuni has a bad fuel or air circuit, I tried a different tack. Jet needle is not for Large Hex. When I bought the kit from gokartsusa they sold me a range of jets for it too - large hex, which is what I've been buying trying to...

I ordered several smaller mains and a couple of smaller pilots too - Just because. I emailed gokartsusa (who I bought most of this stuff from) but have not heard back from them . I did say their techtip section for their Mikuni kit is wrong. No way a 130-180 will work with this setup. I did...

Getting Jets in now (130-150 in 5 increments), a 12.5 pilot came today and so it begins.

Thought I read somewhere it comes 12.5 from Mikuni but I can't be sure on this. Found a 12.5 on eBay/ordered. Will advise the final outcome. I live at 6800 feet so nothing is easy here jetting wise BUT I will be riding this at relatively low altitude in May and always bring my jetting box for...

I'm on several 2-stroke forums and have several of them including a 1972 Kawasaki H2 Triple 750 pro-street stage-2 porting and reeded (I've owned since 1978). Among others a CR500, DT400, IT175, 1962 Suzuki Colleda 150 twin - the list goes on. Plus-1 on Yamalube on all my 2-strokes for a LONG...

I don't know much about them other than what they are back in "the day". 2-stroke single, dual plug, what is the engine?

hahahahah ---- you can see it.... I wear glasses and use a magnifying glass and can't read the numbers unless they're really clear. 15 pilot, thanks! I purchased a pack of 4 15's I can drill out and some other packs and some mains. This is running really rich on the top but falls 0-1/8+...

First time I ever sat on it running. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3_rSyXCioY&list=UUnCDdAXB8jP_I9hcAlX5QDQ

Paint not for a while, it's winter in colorado - brrrrr. I messed with the original 14" that came with it, ordered the tire, found a CR80 caliper on eBay, fabbed up a bracket - spent a lot of time - and discovered the rim and disc bent. Note: Check things FIRST before spending 20 hours and...

The larger front appealed to me too. The original he had was bent and the disc warped so a new one was required. It took a lot to fab up the mounting and get it lined up correctly.

Bought this from a young man prior to Christmas. It was a mess, he started it and the clutch flew off. I checked and the crank shaft had a broken bolt in it and 1/4 of some stripped in thread, it was toast. He was asking $250. I'd just bought the Z50 earlier that day and really did not want...
