Just got a '85 YFM 200

[2g00d4u]

Excellent condition, reverse (engaged by hand =P), flood lights, FMF Exhaust System, hand guards, and, to top it off, it works. Picked it up for $700.
It needs a tune up, the oil was literally like black water, and the gas, well, was not what you would see and name off as gas.

Anyone else have one of these? I got some questions.
got some pics up below. (also some of my Blaster)

you need to use image tags for the pix to be displayed on the page [i m g]your pic url[i m g /] without the spaces

you'll probably get nicer pix if you rolled them out into the sunlight as well

thanks. I wanna ride that thing so badly, but I gotta finish my tune up.

those things are tanks man.

I saw someone else say that in another forum, I hope it's true, I got some pretty bad trails and big mud holes in store for it.

But the more work I put into it, the longer and better it will run.

It's been backfiring a bit when I revv it though, its not loud, but it's noticable. Might just need the plug gapped or something.

either that or it may need the valves adjusted, the one we had smoked worse than my blasty lol. still ran ok, but EVERYTHING was worn out, the maintenance just wasn't there

Theres a better chance the pilot jet is stopped up or partially stopped up if its backfiring, usually that is due to a lean jetting condition. Also what brando said, could also need valves adjusted.

yeah clean out the carb really well

 

[2g00d4u]

It's hard to get the carb open, I just pulled the fuel line off it and pumped it full of PJ1.

If that doesn't work, I'll rebuild the carb. Probably needs it.
