Maybe your piston is not all the way depressed, I purchased one but have yet to use it on my RD 350 build.

Closer look and its the same, almost looked like the tank is purple on top in the shadow. 

I am in Lewiston, Id and almost ready to start up some 2 stroke rides in the region. I will post about it when ready.

Weird how the tank has different paint design graphics on the left side compared to the right side.

The one I own is very impressive stock for its size.

Has anyone used the economy cables they carry. My original cables are working but very worn out and not wanting to throw a cable on a ride.

Road trip!

It was expensive enough just driving to Seattle for the RD 250.
I was hit with $5.00 a gallon and toll bridge fees, the bridges and water ways are very cool out that way but expensive.

What are the thoughts or experiences using after market cables from India and if positive what vendor to choose would help also.
Not sure if these are whats being offered state side now that the RDs are in there 50's (Throttle Cable) really expensive state side, my goal is to do a complete new cable purchase.
I really like to buy from US vendors but money is tight.

 I used new jets, it fired up but now going out to try and dial in ignition timing.

Cleaned out calcified nasty in the sleeve very gently and it dropped right in.

Nice find, gorgeous machine

I did a search and found nothing on the subject of replacing the main nozzles on my 1974 RD 250A without damaging the threads form threads that the main jet screws into. The old ones were solidified and were damaged on the way out and I do not want to damage the new main nozzles on assembly. any advice on what to use would be great.

   Thanks,
Jim

I was thinking of having my son pick it up for me. He lives in Cedar Rapids but its a long drive to pick it up, we usually fly to do our visits.

Seems like just yesterday this was announced.... Time flys, Happy B Day

It is gorgeous

The left side casing was damaged to what looks like a chain break, I bought one for $32.00 on ebay should arrive on 27th and it is 8,358 miles on it
