Hi Lance
The baffles did have wadding on them when they were new, and after 500 miles you took the wadding off as part of your first service.
It was a way to help bed the engine in or slow the engine down for the first 500 miles.
Thanks.
Reed.

I probably should have mentioned that all the major Japanese manufactures did it this way on their two-stroke engines.
Thanks,

I ran mine on 140 main jets and it ran all right so do a plug check and let us know.
If it run a little rich then you can think about the mains at 130 plug check first.
Thanks

i did  a plug chop last week and mixture looked ok,but ive been setting the timing and reading some of the service sheets in one of my manuals and it says to set ignition 2 degrees before timing mark and fit 130 main jets and put needles on second groove for best performance.  not sure if ive remembered everything as ive not got the sheets with me im at work.
