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

It was missing the main jet brass washers in the carbs and had no spark the owner said..... I found spark and ordered some odds and ends from Yambits and I cant say enough about their service as I received the order in 5 days     carbs cleaned new points, condenser,right plastic side cover lower collar bolt washers. It had the wrong clutch cable on it, removed and installed the old one that i replaced from the 350.
I have been replacing the kitchen cabinets and added outlet and switch for garbage disposal, lighting,  bla bla bla..............hopefully this weekend fire it up.
 

Purchased this two weeks ago out of Seattle Washington.

1974 RD 250

They should call them by another name unless they are 2 strokes.....shameful.
