Hello James and Robert, No idea about the jetting in the carb. Haven't gotten that far yet. I had to take the pipe off to weld the flange where it fits the...
Mel, What does the silencer look like? If it's black it's usually stock. Silver/Gray aftermarket. With the DG pipe they do suggest you re-jet the carb. I...
When using a DG pipe , quite often you will have to jet it up . The DG will also make it a little pipey . 1st , get rid of the weedeater gas . For the 465 , go...

I didn't think I had the problem. But maybe I do. Does anyone know what the head mod is that cures it. Maybe turning it into a true hemispherical chamber??...
Yes , allot of the IT/YZ stuff will interchange....like my '79 YZ125 w/IT175 engine......litterally rocks . The Dirt Shack Lee Buchanan , Owner 326 Bamber St....
If you are worried about the noise of your 2 stroke get a Db snorkel, took mine from 104db with an FMF silencer to 91.6db in SAE test at 5500rpm!!!! thats...
