the only thing that could make it better is a 4 valve liquid cooled setup

 

This is true

 

Thanks Pixie. I have just ridden a 2003 Honda 250 and a 400 ex 2 stroke. They had alot of initial power that thre you back. I intially was comparing the two atv's but then remembered the 4 stroke vs. 2 stroke. Definately a different power curve. Also mine is 20 years old. I was concerned that my engine was tired. I have been cleaning it up and hopefully will have it on the trail tomorrow. I will let you know how she runs.
