It's getting there ...too slowly ...first race (about a 10-mile 2-lapper on a short version of the course in reverse called the "3.5 miler" LOL) is June 8!!!! :shock:

The 250 has officially gone from junkyard dog to an 3-figure investment since i went on a parts ordering spree yesterday to get everything in time for the race.

* Full clutch/plate/spring set & tool
* new plug, & coil (been running a gy6 orange coil)
*full gasket set along with a spare crank seal just in case it's not included
* oil filters
still need a regulator/rectifier and tires.

electrical routing and mounting may get put off as will further work on the brakes most likely.

also ordered a 19 and 21 T sprocket, i need more bottom end pull.

Have to sort out a sprocket misalignment on the right chain drive, jackshaft sprocket keeps walking out on that one.

changed the oil out and it seems a little better. i also may lean out the midrange to see it will help the boggishness by moving the needle back down a slot (i bumped it up one to richen it up) so far plug has shown good color, no signs of detonation.

Mounted the go pro on the nose for a short session before i pull the engine.
