When carb sync is off they make a LOT more noise, can sound like a big end going out when real bad
 
Blake.......no mufflers? On the truck? That's gotta be.........subtle.
Oh wait, you're under 30 aren't't you? Rock on then amigo! Enjoy.......
Do the 5-oh leave you be? I ran the little track car on the street for one summer and it was fun but four noise tickets later....it's back to track only.

It wasn't by choice. I bought it used and the one thing I disliked was the noise. The dealer thought it sounded great. I crawled under the truck after I bought it to discover the setup. This new intake solved the problem!
 
New lid...new to me i should say from c-list.
now all i have to do is get the bike running right.....

1979 DT250. Has tank and seat (seat needs recovering). Cleaned carb last night and when I put all the electrics back on that were in plastic bags..it had spark when I kicked it over! Going to be a fun scoot!

I try to do one small mod a year. New tires, tinted windows, tool box, cold air intake. Next year: Line-X spray-in bed liner, belts & hoses.

Line-X is good stuff. I had the bed done on my Tacoma 5 years ago and it's still rock solid, even with how badly I abuse it.

Maybe one year you could buy some Simple Green and clean under that hood! How does one clean the outside so well, but leave the inside so filthy? :eek:

Just bustin ya chops ;) :p

Is Simple Green a green product? If so I'm all over it :). I stopped using engine cleaner years ago because of all the nasty/ harsh chemicals and hazards. If the products have improvedandbecome green I am very interested. The P.O. Of my truck obviously lived on ared Georgia clay road. I was dislodging clumps of clay from the frame for a year.
 
It's advertised as such...
Simple Green All-Purpose Cleaner is the leader of non-toxic, biodegradable, environmentally safer cleaning products used for household cleaning, car cleaning ...
 
I get a gallon of the stuff at least once every other month, mix in a spray bottle or just slather it all over things.
 
I have used about every cleaner available at auto parts and general stores and have had the best results with Eagle One A-Z Wheel Cleaner. I would love to be bale to get it in 5 gallon buckets. I can go through 8-10 bottle a month in the spring-fall. It is one of the best degreasers out there.

yz490 is a monster my buddy made a drag bike outta one it would rip your elbows out of socket fuck your other projects bad ass pulles rank
 
Best cleaner/degreaser I ever used is diesel fuel. As a bonus it will remove some rust and corrosion. Just brush it on with a stiff brush....... let it sit for a little while...... brush more of it on and use brush vigorously to remove softened oil and grime....... then hose it off with simple green , Suzuki cleaner (my favorite), or S100 cycle cleaner. Probably not real green, but it works........
