Over the course of my ownership of a yz250f I’ve struggled quite a bit with my carburetor. I’ve thought a lot about converting it to fuel injection but need to hear from others that know more than me about it. I know that efi requires power which means I would have to attach a stator or...

Everytime I start my XT125X it revs into space and I have checked for air leaks and replaced the boot that goes from the carb to the engine. I went to go check for an air leak on the left crank seal and there was a pool of oil in the stator cover, is that normal or it it the seal allowing oil...
