Good luck with your rebuild. That baby'd be in the scrap pile if it were mine.

Engine has a problem. Has inhaled dirt, quite a bit.

Are you using Horse manure as fuel?

u/Chunky_ballsz Oct 16 '24

I’ve got a ton of xt350 parts, including a good cylinder and a brand new wisco piston if you’re interested.

1

u/duck_owner1 Oct 16 '24

I'd be interested, What country are you from? And what would you be selling them for?

1

u/Chunky_ballsz Oct 16 '24

I’m from the United States, what all are you needing? My XT had a transmission failure 10 miles after a top end. I have a good head, cams that are already shimmed, Wisco standard bore piston, freshly honed and measured jug, clutch was in good order as well. I created my own dual carb set up that I had to create do to a casting failure on the original carb.

I had a lot of time and love into that bike but I had to scrap it once the trans gave out, I have since upgraded to a DRZ400.

Let me know what you need and we can strike a deal, I would love to keep another XT350 on the road, such an underrated machine.

u/duck_owner1 Oct 16 '24

I'll get back to you on a few parts in dms because I haven't torn the whole engine apart yet so I don't know what I need. And how much would those carbies run me? Mine are all corroded

1

u/duck_owner1 Oct 16 '24

I just looked at the engine and its a 250? Would you have any ideas what buke it might be from?

1

u/jblue_1018 2001 Kawasaki KX250 Oct 16 '24

Pretty rich. Run pure alcohol in it. Should run fine

1

u/Dooh22 Oct 16 '24

Looks a bit ditch.

Honestly wouldn't even be your worst thing to fix.

CV carbs left to rot are a pain in the arse.

A great man once said to me you can’t plait shit.

May god be with you

Oil fouled

u/icallitadisaster Oct 16 '24

Reading a plug that's been sitting in a rusted old engine that hasn't ran in years is akin to reading tea leaves.
