Don't be silly. Do you have any idea how expensive it is to send a video from Cownuckistan to YouTube?

I think modder has out trolled ya on this one, Tom.

Just trying to separate fact from fiction.

It's not often you meet a former motocross hero/mechanical genius who mixes chicken #### with mayonnaise and thinks that's chicken salad.;)

I never thought of myself as a hero, but thanks for the compliment. I am quite sure there is a lot of members on this site that know more than me, that's why I was asking questions. There would be no point in asking questions if I already knew it all. Maybe that's why you are not asking questions about how to fix the 199. Enlighten us all with your infinite wisdom, rather than your trying to be a smart ax. I didn't hear any help from you except, to not fix it yourself, send it to someone else.
I am sorry if I offended you when I passed you on your brand new bike that mom bought for you. I didn't know you would hold a grudge all this time. I surly didn't go as far with it all as I would have liked. How far did you get.

i knew it would work
what you did was put in the wrong kit
when the 199's first came out with the black spacer the correct kit was not available
the kit that is needed is hda-24
i'll show this in the vid

I think the one I used said K24-hda. Not sure if that makes a difference, but tried the saw again today and it worked perfect. Ran it side by side with my 570 and the 357 seams to have a bit of an edge. The only mod on the 570 is a MM, but I did a port and polish, smoothed out the transfers and greatly sharpened the transitions to the transfers along with a MM to the 357xp. Now that I know the carb works well, I can try it on the 254 to see how it performs. Im sure it will give a bit more zip than the temp carb I have on it now.

Nice video, good explanation.

Clear, black glossy smooth, blue=Mylar, more or less, fast movement and inexpensive, looses shape quickly, does not seem to do well with huge differential between pop off and reseat in any carb.

Tan, "brown", woven texture=woven fiberglass or "Teflon coated", usually seems to work better than Mylar except cost and movement speeds.
