Well, I'm glad the (topic split) worked!

And start by removing the carbs, stripping them and cleaning them.

Standing for 7 months? Hopefully not the crank seal.
If it's not running right when you put it back together, don't ride it. You could do damage.

What I was told when I bought my NSR was the crank seal was gone as the previous owner had let it sit. Supposedly it dries out the crank seal if you don't run them on a regular basis. Can somebody verify?

If the crank seal is gone compression will be lost between the cylinders. Usually the front cylinder runs lean and if you ride it, you'll likely seize it.

It's a possibility that it is a crank seal, but lets not get all doomsday. Compression should be similar for both cylinders if all is right. You should check this with a gauge, not your hands. However, if you can tell a difference by hand, this indicates that it is a big difference.

My recommendation is to do everything else first. Check everything is clean and adjusted, with fresh fuel/plugs etc Check the power valves are operating and there are no air leaks.

After you've done everything, it's time to pull of the barrels and inspect the pistons/rings and test your crank seal.

iv taken the carb off and im going to give it a good clean tomorrow. The reed valves look okay still (not that i would know but no damage) gave them a good clean with carb cleaner.
i noticed and would like to know what is the two combined little orange kind of colour plastic containers that sit and conect to the reed valves???
the front cylinder has alot of compression but not as much as the top. Could it be that because its the top piston theres no more oil on the rings to make a proper seal for its been standing so long since iv driven it???
Iv changed the plugs today, and how would i check if the power valves are opperating and actually letting the gasses out??? And where do i check for air leaks?

Its my second 2 stroke and i dont know much about them........
Thanks!!! And help........

put some new plugs in , clean all the jets and holes in the carbs , leave the barrels for last - maybe you can get away with new rings only .

I am planning on getting new pistons and rings have to save up for those as parts are expensive here for the NSR.... Iv changed the plugs.....thanks and iv sprayed some carb cleaner into every hole in the carbs, i cleant the carb in a see through container and i was left with like greenish and brownish carb cleaner in the container...

Hey anonymous.shyster looking forward to your reply from my last post..
How would i test my crank seals? And the power valves?

Leave the crank seal testing for last. It's more of a doomsday thing. Just hope it's not the crank seals.

Power valve adjustment is outlined here on nsr250.net under WORKSHOP or TUNING. I prefer the HRC method, but it requires taking your pipes off Sad

The center crank seal will bleed air from one side to the other (right to left IIRC) If left sitting for more than a day or so. Oil during motor operation seals this leak.
