    QUESTION: does you firstorm have fuel/oil residue on the back of the motor after running/??? I am thinking there is a leak out of mine from the header.

    If yours is like mine it could be a leak or maybe the exhaust comming from the pipe and blowing back there?

    help plz.

    I had alot of "black oil" round the back of mine, eventually found that a small gap had developed between the engine and header pipe. Check that your bolts havent loosened also check your gasket is fully intact.

    Status: offline     		the problem with the header bolts coming loose is an easy fix.
    use longer bolts that pass thur the header and back them up with nuts.
    the nuts will be very close to the brake pad. but it will not rub.

    take a picture of yours, so the guru's here can all see what you have and then advise you accordingly. Do you know how to get the needles back to stock?

    Another way to prime your engine is to just put your finger over the end of the exhaust pipe and pull the starter cord. you should be able to see the fuel go to your carb. the high speend needle is the screw right next to the where the fuel line goes into the carb.
    hope this helps.
