Hopefully they have a carb rebuild kit in stock too.

The most pressing item currently is the heavy gas fumes in the garage. It’s overwhelming and the wife isn’t thrilled about that. I need to address that first before anything else. If anyone has any tips on common sources for this, I’ll be sure to look into those. For now I can tell that the gas cap rubber is pretty brittle and cracked. Additionally, there looks to be a bit of fuel puddling between the carb and intake as mentioned above.

Oh, and if I don’t have any optional gearing, what’s default ratio?

And before I forget, oil capacity for the 250? I’ll pick up some 10W-30
This will help with a lot of your questions:

There’s a section for Standard equipment and one for Optional equipment. If it’s not on the SPID, you have the Standard option.
