Default New Guy, Question about rusted gas tank.

ok UPDATE.......

tank wasnt very rusty. put some decent sized sockets in there, shook them around. everything seems to be ok. prolly not perfect but it wasnt that bad. i jus have obesessive complusive LOL.

BUT....... now i had it runnin, was runnin ruff took a while to idle decent due to sittin for a few years i guess. then i get it to were i can give it gas and it not die.

BUT........ then the carb keeps like overflowing ( fillin up ) and the plug fouls out. did it twice in like 25 minutes.

after the first time i jus let it sit for a while and cleacned the plug it started back up , ran about 10 minutes did it again.

PLEASE ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED.. thank you.

and THRASH no doubt. i jus got this as a lil toy, my real toy is a 2003 suzuki gsxr 1000......... bad boy LOL

there a good chance that those little rust particals are all in your carb

float valve
pilot jet
slow jet

clean her out really good with air,,,,each circuit

rinse the tank a few times with fuel,,,,and use an inline filter to help catch the rest of the gunk

get your butt down here so I can take you some place to see if that 250R will fly! A nice little MX track should give you a workout!

Run it until it is fully warmed up, and set the idle with the choke off. A air cooled engine will run different when it is cold VS warm, so set it when it is warm.
