Big update.
Found a barn find SRX 250 on craigslist. Had not run since 1990, seller was asking $1000.
After a while he dropped the price to $700, no title. I contacted him and offered $450 for a bunch of parts and he accepted.
Gas tank, front fairing, all park-signal lamps, exhaust (OE), speedometer, gauge fascia, light fascia, as well as all the attaching parts and brackets, and to top it off the very rare unobtanium lower front fairing (needs a little repair). Gas cap assembly which I swapped out my original lock cylinder to and does not leak like the old one when I fill the tank completely to the ring in the filler neck with the bike vertical.
Today I pulled the spark plug. That sucker must have been in there forever and it wasn't tight enough to compress the crush washer. Seems to run better and should get better mileage with the new plug torqued properly.
We'll see if the mileage increases with the new plug.
regards
Mech
