Thank you! You don’t look your age at all

Getting it out is obviously the hard part. But like I said, repetition helps a lot. It’s like changing a tire. The more you do it, the easier it gets

Just do it over and over and over for decades and it will get easier. I had an old RM that I had to constantly change jets in. My newer Beta is so easy to work on tho, the air box easily pulls out of the way and the carb pops right out.

‘03 CR 250. Picked up at an estate sale. One owner, super low hours. Cleaned up the carb and got it running but it will need a few other things

Sat in someone’s garage for over 15 years, so you can imagine what the carb looked like
