Newbie in SC

Hey y'all!

Thanks for having me. I can see there is a plethora of great information on this site, and it's incredible how active it still is for a model that hasn't been made in 6 years!

I'm a new rider as well as a new Rebel owner. I recently bought a 2005 model 250 and have been enjoying getting it running and learning to ride.

The first challenge was getting it running. I bought it in a state of running on idle but the engine would bog down if you gave it any throttle. I appreciate the countless threads of info on carburetor cleaning that got me through that portion. It was my first time doing anything like that and I found it quite rewarding.

I have been working my way through the Clymer "tune-up section" and have been referring to threads here for detailed help. I look forward to learning from y'all and eventually reaching the point where I can offer assistance!

Thanks again, and here's a picture of mine stopped at the coffee shop today.
