    The 1977 Yamaha IT250D is now almost ready for Classic Dirt Track racing this year.

    A new Michelin trials tyre is on the front because the 2015 Australian Titles at Temora
    require trials tyres front and back and original wheel sizes. So I need to get used to a front trials tyre.

    New shorter front brake cable.
    Re-fitted the DG silencer so it now tucks in nice and close.
    New high volume fuel tap.
    Increased main jet size ready for high speed testing.
    Mark fitted an O-Ring into the head to remove the gasket to increase compression and reduce the squish.

    The intake manifold and reeds were restricting the flow of the 39mm Mikuni carb so I had to:
    Squeeze in the largest reed block that I could without grinding the cylinder.
    It is such a tight fit that 4 out of 6 reed petal screw spring washers had to be removed to get it in.
    Fit Yamaha fibre reeds and reed stops with large cutouts and bent open a couple of extra millimetres.
    Open up the manifold using a porting tool to give it more area than a 39mm hole.

    Here she is:

    Well it wasn't today but back home last time I leaned out both needles by 1 clip. Also richened the idle circuit slightly using the air screw on both carbs. Took her for a run and she ran like an absolute champion with much less smoke as well.

    Finally fired off the mc22 tonight. I shouldn't have messed with it the way my day has gone, but I did anyway and it made me happy. Sounds gnarly without a can on it. Unfortunately it's almost midnight and I have a leak in my fuel source so no more playing tonight.

    2 things are keeping me from riding it tomorrow. #1 waiting on pistons for the front brakes. #2 adapter for pingel petcock. I ordered a 20mmx1/4npt" (lulz) instead of a 22mmx1/4"npt.

    I return from the land of the dead XD
    got bike back from exhaust shop, went for a quick ride yesterday, played up a little hopeing its just the 3mth old fuel that was left over. Filled up and it seemed to go a little better, will test it over the next couple of days and decide whether to get it tuned or not.
