[QUOTE="MX Mac, post: 1430759, member: 23306"] Like a re'tard, I let my CRF 250 sit for almost 2 years in the garage. (not properly winterized) I want to ride some this spring, so I want to get it ready. (I bought it new in 2004) I tried my best to search and I found a couple of answers about where to start, but i have a couple more questions and need some expert opinions. To start, I drained the gas, drained the carb, and upon further inspection into the carb drain plug opening, I noticed something that didn't look quite right with the main jet. Carb Pic [url]http://crfmxpics.shutterfly.com/pictures/10#10[/url] Bottom of the Bowl... [url]http://crfmxpics.shutterfly.com/pictures/10#9[/url] It's green? Ethanol residue/remains? What a disaster... Obviously I need to clean the heck out of the carb, float, clean replace ALL jets, wire brush scrub the green off etc..., that is underway. Also I will def do the normal engine oil/tran oil, oil filter, air filter, plug, check valve clearances etc. After that I believe I should need to lube the wheel bearings, swing-arm linkage, etc...other than that what else has to be done? What should I use to clean the gas tank? The old fuel smelled really bad...really weird and bad. The fuel filter also disintegrated, it's like gone..so that is on it's way too. (I actually snapped the fuel hose while removing it, so I am replacing all the lines and breather hoses) Should I, or do I have to: Lube the steering head? Replace the radiator fluid? Service the forks right away or can that wait? (Forks were fully serviced in 2010 when I blew a seal) Any other advice?, Next time I will store it much better, or not let it sit so long. Gomer and TrueSpode are going to be very disappointed in this lack of maintenance...and yes, this is my first post since 2007... [/QUOTE]
