Hey guys I hope you can help me.
My 97 cr250 was running great and then all of the suddenly started idling rough and back firing and dying a lot.
It runs ok once you get it going but it's really hard to start.
Can you help me?

I would check your spark plug and replace it.
If it still runs bad I would take a look at the reeds and see if they are cracked or broke.
Let us know what you find.

The plug was ok.
But oh man, the reed had a chunk missing :o :shock: :o :(
I guess I'll have to get a new one.
Thanks man I would never have figured that out.

I'm glad you found the problem.
You don't have to get a new one :D
