    Another '86 250! Seems like I don't find many people with that vintage of 250 and when I search ebay for parts, they are few and far between. One day I'll get to that project...

    I always preferred the look of the 86, must be the white plastics as opposed to the later black side panels and air box I guess.
    Nice find and good luck with your project!

    drop the needle a clip position and see if that helps. if its worse, go the other side and see what happens. lean on the needle will feel like its dragging as you open up thru midrange till it suddenly takes off as the main cuts in.. rich will be blubbery and four stroky on light throttle settings.
