Ethanol tainted fuel is BAD for 2 strokes. Use ethanol-free 93 octane, make sure the crank seals are PERFECT, use synthetic 2 stroke oil and it will purr for 10,000 miles. I also get 500 gallons of ethanol-free 93 octane at a time.
WARNING. I see I'm not the only idiot that bought some of those CAT boots. They cost me $125.00 and fell apart on my feet after 6 months. If you really want a pair you can get them online for $25.00. O yeah, did I mention that there made in China.
Nice update video. Glad to see more guys keep the of JD’s running
It will be like new inside and out when you get done. Thanks for the video
Good work.
Intake air leak was my first thought unless the PO put high top pistons in it. I highly doubt it was 87 octane even with mfg recommendation of 91.
Leaky crank seals.
