Just bought an 02 srx 700 lack of power

[Yamitriple]

the little plastic cup that sits around main jet will not effect any power output, I eliminate them when they are loose and ill fitting, never had any problems yet. For your powervalves just take to a machine shop and have them repair the ends via mill off old and tap the valve, thread in a steel bolt and turn the head on a lathe, drill and slot the end and it will last forever. The valves don't hit the pistons because theres a stop cast into the cylinders to keep it from contacting piston.

Thanks a ton mr viper, I'm still a little bit worried about this srx purchase since I paid 1700 for it, but hopefully it works out good, i have the rebuilt valves ordered just waiting on ups. Gonne send my old ones out as cores 85 bucks a piece for the new ones after the core. And bought an oem cable for the middle hole. I'll update this post with how the sled runs after i get the valves correct!
