i have a LRD exhaust and pipe Mikuni carburetor main jet was 230 what should i do next pls help do i need a 280 main jet ? here some pictures...also a picture what kind 2stroke oil i used
rod look good no up and down.. i only have little play side to sideAny pieces in the crank area?hows the rod look?
LRD pipes require at least a 300 main jet, the one I had liked a 330 main here @ 1800' elevation in summer temps
lower elevation and lower temps will require more fuel/richer jetting
I'd buy 300 thru 350 mains, start large and plug chop down
stock jetting with an aftermarket pipe, ebay cylinder with unknown piston to cylinder specs or ports chamfered ?
and cheapest 2 stoke oil around, is a recipe for melting pistons
If you still have the factory cylinder, just have it bore/honed to a new piston, by a reputable shop
up that main jetting to match your pipe or other airflow mods, using plug chops to determine that
and stop wasting $ on chi-wanese junk, sad but true
plug chops

Do you still have your oem parts?they are far superior to the Chinese junk
I believe awk said 300 thru 350 mains.you did do a leakdown test before starting hopefully.did you start with the 350 jet and check plug?lean is mean but not for long
i installed a new piston and new spark plug and change my main jet to 300 and my spark park blow up.. i think its the 2stroke oilDo you still have your oem parts?they are far superior to the Chinese junk

thanks for the help i traded both of my yamaha blaster for a kawasaki 220r 2strokeThere could be a multitude of things going on here. I'm going to list a few of what I think is going on:
- It's entirely possible you had slag and burrs from your jug ports/cylinder ports/piston skirt break off. These Chinese pistons don't exactly have the quality control that the "big guys" have, so you have to kind of go over everything with a magnifying glass to rectify it.
- Your jetting was VERY lean. With any aftermarket exhaust, I think the leanest jetting I've seen was my buddy's Blaster, and that had a 260 main jet. It runs like utter garbage at 1000 to 1500 ft. above sea level. Try to run a 280 main at the bare minimum.
- The two-stroke oil you're using may not have the lubricating properties of something like Amsoil, Klotz, Yamalube, Bel-Ray, etc. I've used Quicksilver, which is a cheap Autozone brand, on my YZ250 for a long time with no issues.
- In addition to the oil properties, depending on how you get oil into the combustion chamber, your oil pump may have bombed, thus causing a lack of "cooling" lubrication. Two-strokes are funny, where you can run it with just gas, since that's what ignites and runs the damn things, but you can't run it on just oil. The oil is mainly there for lubrication and cooling.
thank you for helping this noob out thanks again <3Are you premixing 32:1?
