I'm certanly no expert, but to me they look a little on the lean side, no???

Yeah you could be right. It has stock 42.5 pilot stock needle setting. 150 148.8 148.8 mains. stock fuel screw settings. It has a high idle but has been fouling plugs. I have been using Klotz.
Really! I was running 45/152.5 with my old trail porting. Needle lowered one notch. I'm running more now with the case porting and lake port and pipes.

Yeah I am definitly thinking of at least going to 45 pilots. Also getting rid of the Klotz.

No theres not pistons missing. UI will try to get better pics.
Good eye. The piston does look damaged.no1chevyboy said:

your lean. on my ported '01 srx w/drilled airbox, i run 45 pilots, 1-1/4 turns on fuel screws, needles at stock 3.0 height, 155 mains on pto/center and 153.8 on mag. plugs look fine and so does my piston wash. i'm safe down to 0*F. i have no idle hang what so ever. i HATE klotz oil, other than the smell.
oh, i never fouled 1 plug ever, on this sled either. i run yamalube.

I WOULD CHANGE YOUR NEEDLE POSITION. THROW FUEL TO THAT SUCKER AND MAKE HP. BEING LEAN ROBS HP. 3:16 (yammie tony)

raise it 1?
you need to lower it to get the needle up allowing more fuel.

Yeah lower the clip
All black on top is LEAN...thats why you've been eroding the exhaust side piston dome. [pull the cylinders and check the other pistons as well]
Odd for a 2002 SRX with DCS that it let that happen???
I will bet you have caught it early enough that all you will need to replace is the piston + rings.
I would start at 152.5s[vents out of airbox] after the repairs, put the needles in position 3 with both plastic washers under the clip[most sleds melt down part throttle because of lean needle settings] and keep a close eye on it...make sure that DCS system is working, carbs are clean + good fuel.
If the shelf with the tubes has been removed from the airbox...put it back in.
