TRX 2.5 Basic

[pfcperry17]

I have a Jato with the 2.5 installed. Bought it used last night and won't start because of possibly 2 reasons. I love it already from the looks and design of it all and the electric start is a nice helper.

Problem one & probably the worst: High speed needle and fuel inlet broke off carb before I got it. Last owner SUPER GLUED!!!!! It back on....WTF? Don't know why....Don't wanna know.

Problem two: Engine seems to have low compression. The flywheel seems to turn around 360* TOO easy....Make a little pop noise when the piston passes the exhaust port on the downstroke. When it goes down....Don't know what it's called....

Where can I get a new carb or a carb body to swap my needles and screws over to it? And a new sleeve and piston? Thanks!

I would just buy a new engine if the 2.5 is low on compression AND needs a carb. You can get an engine in the $100 - $200 range that's new....
