    Before everyone jumps to conclusions; I did put the HPI ignition back on and you won't believe the results... Anyways... Fuel in the video is Sunoco 110 with Klotz Super Techniplate 38:1. Jetting in this video is 52 pilot, 182 main and middle position on the needle. Oh yea... YOU ROCK!! 🤘🤘🤘

      If it wasn’t a kick start It’s so easy to pull the spark plug so there’s no compression and time it with a gun by rolling it over. If there’s a way you could possibly use an impact on the fly wheel to turn the motor over while you make your timing marks on the fly wheel. I build 2 stroke mercury motors and timing is the most important part. Using a timing gun I start at 0° and advance 1°-2° at a time til I’m happy with that tune. I’ve never used a timing gun on a 1 cylinder 2 stroke motor but what I do know is you can get very meticulous with your timing preference when using a timing gun

    • @careysoutherland8291
      @careysoutherland8291 4 года назад +2

      glad the hpi worked out. i was going to ask you if you should closed the gap on the plug since its a high compression engine and if you thought it was blowing the spark out.

    • @Quadcrazy84
      @Quadcrazy84 4 года назад +3

      Good to hear you put the hpi back on. Always good to hear you tried something for the 250r community and not just follow what everyone else is using. If it was easy everyone would do it. Cant wait to see the difference.

      I’m a motocross guy. (Bikes) but I give my dad crap because he can’t start a bike easily or even put it on a stand correctly but it’s all technique not strength. I know 13 year old 110lb kids that can start a big bike after a crash no problem.

      Now for all of us old school dudes , you know aka " old farts " the 250r refers to the three wheeler , and yours is the 250trx also known as the four tax 😁 just keeping you youngsters straight 👍 because all of that rode 85 and 86 250r's back in the day didn't want anything to do withe four tax when they came out !!! Because it was the stupid government that banned the three wheelers fro production after 1986 , so it was like the government was trying to force us to ride a quad 🤨 and so you know the 250r three wheeler would stink on the 250trx in a drag race , and that's why most the quad guys bought banshees . Man I miss the smell of the two strokes runnning castor bean oil premix in their bikes !!! Long live the two strokes!!!!

    I see that you're adjusting the idle by unthreading and tightening the throttle cable, keep that thing loose (as in threaded all the way in) and make all of your adjustments on your carb. It will run way better and you won't have to adjust things as often.

      Michael Sabo Trick is timing your kick just right. Halfway through the compression stroke give it the beans and commit. If you don’t, she’ll bite back and slam your shin so hard it chips the bone in your shin. Lesson learned. Love my bike. Couldn’t be happier.

  • @johnweaver1198
    @johnweaver1198 4 года назад

  • @randelpierce961
    @randelpierce961 4 года назад

    One thing about the 250rtrx is they like to kick back so it’s a good idea to use the riding boot you’ll find out when it kicks back and the kick starter lever hits you in the shin and what makes it worse is when you get hit multiple times in the same spot.

    I bought a 1985 350X back in the day, brand new. That starter would kick your ass everytime unless you slow kicked to TDC. It would fire right up then.

    Mike I have shared your pain lol, I had Arlan build me a motor a number of years ago with the power valved pro x cylinder and like you I had one H of a time getting it started the first time. It's like I couldn't kick it over fast enough to get a good spark but eventually I got it to light. Rotate the engine just past tdc compression the let up on the kick starter to get a full throw then kick it like you hate it lol. Good luck man...

    • @MichaelSabo
      @MichaelSabo  4 года назад

      Thank you man; after talking with Arlan, apparently the older HPI ignitions were really hard to kick, even when timed right. It sound's like you had one of those.

    My Duncan Racing 305r Powervalve motor that is 17yrs old with same piston, rings, etc. still does that today. Can't start it without out the riding boot.

    I had one. Money pit! It was fricken fast though! But it kept breaking down. I finally decided to sell it, while I could still get some of my money back. I really regret that now!😫😢

    I’ve got a high compression 250r too and the best wya to kick it over so it won’t hurt when it kicks back is getting on top of the Kickstarter it will help with starting.

    • @MichaelSabo
      @MichaelSabo  4 года назад

      A couple subscribers reached out to me when I was making this video and said the same; it definitely helps; that and to kick all the way through. Thank you man!

    I use HPI ignition on KTM exc 360 two map CDI. The factory specified notation no earthly use! I used it ignition strobe light and own marking and my ears! After adjustment, the difference is huge. Control endoscope camera the piston! Sorry the english knowledge!

  • @rubenbarnes68

    If the After Market Flywheel is lighter than the OEM Flywheel, it may not have enough weight to carry it through its cycle. That would cause it to kick back... it would also explain why the putting the OEM Flywheel back on made such an improvement.

      @Cale Phillips they mellow out the motor a bit though. A perfectly tuned carb is better than a lectron or smart carb

    I feel your pain before I did a carb swap on my 2000 cr500 to a 38mm pwk air striker I put the kickstarter through my brand new tactical police boot that costs $$$ talk about pissed because I only wore them for 2 months.

  • @nathansumerlin8391
    @nathansumerlin8391 4 года назад +1

    You probably have it figured out now, but you were advancing the ignition instead of retarding it in your first adjustment. On a big bore, cold start I put the bike in second, and rock the bike back and forth. That gives it a little more fuel in the cylinder and really adds starting. Have a 363, so you have to give it a healthy kick, almost jump on the kicker. It will get easier to start once it breaks in. I am a cr ignition fan myself.

  • @keithkeller698
    @keithkeller698 4 года назад +1

    If you gifted me your bike i would put a 1997/1998 cr250 ignition. Its way cheaper and 99% as good as the 2001 ignition. Your bike is nice im glad to see it run!!

  • @LogansCustomWorks

    I would turn the other way so you could kick it like it a regular kick start I don’t think I could get used to kicking it forward lol but im glad to see it start its been a long time and I know the coronavirus doesn’t help with being able to get what you need for it and im excited for more videos about this thing man great job🤘

    • @mcsbikelife3829
      @mcsbikelife3829 4 года назад

      Logans Custom Works that would be even harder lmao dude they are not hard to kick like that at all. It’s barely different from normal. Start it backwards with your left leg???????

    • @LogansCustomWorks
      @LogansCustomWorks 4 года назад

    • @MichaelSabo
