Did you sober up and try it.il try to make a video on my youtube tomorrow of basic cleaning of the stock carb if i get the time or if it isnt to cold.So you can get riding your lt250r. I would check ebay for some replacement reeds for the 87.you can find boysen for cheap sometimes. Also if their stock it time to replace them anyways , you will get better performance from the new reeds which is always a gain.
