Mufflers for Dream 305

Hi All. I have had the mufflers from Thailand on my Dream for about 3 years now and have been happy with them (see pic) Yesterday one fell off which I intend to weld and fix for now. But I am thinking about changing them. Just wanted to get some thoughts on what others have tried and liked. I do not...

Thanks Gentlemen. I had gone back and done a proper cleaning of the carb as per another comment... I posted this but it doesn't look like it saved. I will try "gas spray" method you mention... but I think the carb, jets, etc. are all very clean. The idle and mixture screws had been in the same place...

I'm glad to hear your bike is working great. Mine was too until this. I have tried a lot of what I think are simpler solutions. Do you have any suggestions?

Hi Guys, If you see my previous couple of posts you can see how I got to this point. I am planning on replacing my condenser. I know this requires, at least, lowering the motor to get to the condenser location. This is in the 1st time category for me as a novice mechanic.... I would appreciate any t...

Re: valves?

Have you adjusted valve clearances recently? Quick subjective compression test would be to remove one spark plug, crank it over, replace it and remove other plug and crank over again...Does starter spin more freely on one side than the other?

The condenser boosts your spark it's only a small unit but it plays a major role in starting. By all means try a new set of plugs then you know that is covered.
