Giving them a good shot of either when starting in neutral always helps the run away. RPM's usually go through the roof no matter where the thottle is.<br /> I watched my neighbor bite it bad on a old yz250. He took off in the rode with his son on the back of the bike, and I don't know if he was tring to pop a wheely or it just stuck in second... but over the went. The bike landed on it's side and began running wide open in gear... breakdancing on the gravel road. Someone caught the handlebars and my neighbor got the spark plug wire broke free with a broom handle. Scary **** I'll never forget. It's a wonder nobody got seriously hurt.

I've never had an OB seriously run away.... I've seen them peg out on either than die.... and had a couple of close calls but havn't ever seen one destoyed. I could envision someone getting killed by being to close to one that ran away though....

check out this email from the seller:<br /><br />

<br />You asked:<br />"Is that motor running on two cylinders right now or three, and which ones? What's the compression?"<br /><br />I am no mechanic the motor is sold as is. Dont know how many cylinders are firing. Come by and check it out for yourself because I dont know much about it. Thanks Chris<br /><br />

I see he didn't add my question to his ad.
