Thanks , got her up and running now..
man lots of fun for a 250 it goes pretty darn fast,

custom made rubber motor mounts, cause I was not going to pay 68 bucks for a set.

my friend has all materials and is willing to sell sets of 3 for $38 shipped lower 48 states.

i will take pics in a day or so, it is now raining here.

again thanks for the specs and all the help here..

I took the tank to a friends house who is a cert. welder and does gas tanks everyday for a trucking company.
Now have new tubes installed  and a filters on both tubes..

plus a very clean tank now.. kreem is the next step.
I should have it all together this weekend.
I am going to try and get pictures of the tank repair job to post here.
it looks great.

now one more question... what is the point gap in inches? I am not up on my metric stuff.

Odyssey FL250 / Not good
« on: February 02, 2009, 06:30:10 PM »
hooked drill up to the coat hanger and damn thing twisted off inside the tube.. :x

at least the the "ON" side tube is clear  who needs reserve   :shock: ..LOL

I guess I could cut the tubes out and braze new tubes back in.

Thanks I double checked my work , What through me off the most  was the kit came with (extra gasket) well not really extra but the diaphram was made onto or into the oem gasket  so I had to sandwich the diaphram with 2 gaskets as shown in the pictorial .
thanks for the info again.

all the help i am getting you guys will have to come to MO and take a ride once this gets done..
The wife can't wait... only because I am doing the repairs at my desk in the den.. :P

Odyssey FL250 / looks good
« on: January 21, 2009, 10:02:20 PM »
Looks good but please explain how a 250 cc bored .060 over stock equals 280cc?  I know in cars say a 350 chevy bored .030 over stock equals a 355 cid and a .060 over equals a 360 cid.

So I can't see how  a 250cc bored .060 over can give that much more displacement.?

where did I get lost

but the site looks good I will send pics of mine to you when my camera gets back, lent it to a friend who is taking pictures of a WET BIKE he wants to sell
