Hey Ernie - I went looking for an older post I remembered where you had put together some jetting info, taken a picture of it, and posted it here:
http://pictures.aol.com/ap/singleImage.do?pid=c060XSuUTqrrxPgwkZuYlTOlDXjmtGxpl*y5v4xQp5Fd3Ig%3D
Unfortunately, I never saved it to my own top secret "Penton Documents" folder and it has now disappeared. Or has AOL.com disappeared? [8D] Its' tough out there...
Could you post your jetting survey document again? This time I promise I'll save it. Or e-mail me at
[email protected]. I've taken possession of a 30mm Mikuni and may "play" with it a bit in my quest for...something. [8)]
Thank you Dr. Speed...
I found this with a search.

Thank you, Dale...that be it! The resolution is kinda wierd, wonder if that is my browser settings..WAIT, copied to my own folder- I can see it just fine now.
And the link provides us access to Dr. Speed's photo archives. Hmmm..no pictures of your 250 project(s), Ernie. Come on...give us a peak. [8)]
Bob,
I'll email you the spreadsheet Monday from my office computer. I think I made some additions. If you have the large body 30 Mik, I think it will be a very tight fit. I have a small body 28 if you want to try it.
250 Projects: Not much to say - In stock trim the motor makes great power and gear selection is just too easy. I'm not happy with rear suspension yet - still oversprung. Or, it may be that I'm just not used to the extra weight of the 250 vs 100/125CMF. Or, it could be that I've been sitting on my a$$ too much this winter and am so out of shape that my speed is just way too slow making me think that my suspension is stiff. I want my 250 to handle like my '72 CMF. Is that possible?

Thanks in advance for the updated spreadsheet, Ernie. This particular 30mm has a different style cap - came off of a later 70's bike. It doesn't look that much larger, but this calibration is based purely on my not-so-eagle eye.
Sad but true - this week will be the first week I pull my bikes out of storage and start fitting up the "new" stuff. It was a long winter (to sit around and shop on the 'net...). Cleated pegs, Later-model triples, Renthal Mini-Hi's, MSR controls, Carl Crank Guide, and a Lectron/Gasser are the latest set-up for the MC5. The Six Day finally gets a pair of WPs. Ka-ching.
Good luck on your suspension "trouble-shooting" - my lay-down MC5 suspension is still in evaluation stage by me. I've only motocrossed on it a couple times - and I've have no woods/CC time on the bike. The WPs I ordered up last year feel just a bit soft in full motocross pace on a rough course- but that might not be a bad thing once I go into the woods and playing Tree Pinball.

roberto, did you get the package ok.
I did, Master Foley. Apologize for not sending you a note sooner.
Thanks again...
