Hi Redneck
Sorry but I might have induced you into an error, I thought the 95 and 97 sprage were the same as mine (97), but I've check and they have different ref.
95-96 freewheel - 250 141-01 ($232,26 at MUNN RACING)
97-98 freewheel - 250 153-01 ($152,28 at MUNN RACING)
2008 KTM (RFS) - H25015301 ($144,67 at MUNN RACING)
As I suspected, the KTM part is a bit cheaper
but it looks that for the 95 is a different part ?? I never saw one, so I can't say.
Again I never saw one 95, but if you measure it and count how many cams the 95 has, you might solve the problem with the cheaper option.
Let me explain, 99% of the times what wears are the cams, and usually the cams are all the same, what is different is the number of cams that one sprage has. So if the 95 has less cams then the 97/98, you can buy the KTM one and just change the cams (very easy job)
About the spring, usually what we do is to shorten the spring, so it has a bit more tension, you can also try a stronger spring (as I did) but you are a bit limited in the diameter of the spring, you can't get much higher. But if you search you can find different spring inside seals (just usual seals), so if you want a stronger spring you must look in to a much bigger seal that we usually use in this engines (check picts).
Taffy, about the KTM sprage, if you need to see to believe it, here is a pictures to you. Did you found a decent sprage cam supplier ?
