Question:

Degreasing reed valve?

Hey quick Q, I heard somewhere that you could degrease the the reed valve? I love cleaning up my CR250 as much as I can. I just want to know if this is done, and if you could, tell me where I'm supposed to clean.Thanks.

Answer:

Spray degreaser down the air intake-that should fix it.
The flow of gasoline rushing past the reeds is enough to keep them clean. No degreasing is necessary. Are you sure you didn't hear de-carbonize the power valve? If so, remove the power valve and linkage from the cylinder. Remove hardened deposits with a wire wheel on a bench grinder. Clean the parts with parts cleaner.
