hi there
funny it is, it al started of with a blown head gasket, now i throught that was the reson for the lack of power, but, my 30min, $70 job has just turned into a $340, need a job, and 1 week job, yep that inclueds x1 rebore x1 new piston and x1 head gasket, any way, i pulled it all apart and found out that piston the guy put in it b4 i brought it had put in a 2 ring piston and to my knowladge the rmx's run a 1 ring piston, right?
yep ne way ill put some pics up any info you have that might help me get my rmx running like a 250 2stroke should run, would be great!!!
thanks johnnie

I'd say that the last guy dropped a 95RM piston in it and it went.....???????

What does teh cyclinder look like? can you get a pic up for us? should be a new piston and away you go.

I got one sitting around for a Rm........ Was it you that I was talking to a while back?

You can have it for $50 (the muffler that is) If you want the expansion chamber I'll want another $50.

bugger dude always a bummer when a big bill hits you.
you can always just get a new piston and rings, and put it back together.
But then it might not last that long
