    Does anyone know if the stock pipe on a 1975 250 WR would have come with a spark arrestor?
    If so would it have had USFS stamp?

    I bought a new 250WR in 76 and it had Spark arrestor I would guess they were the same.If its an ML frame.

    In the USA it would have needed a USFS stamp.... USFS certification stamp on some models was around the outlet on the end of the removable insert, not on the outside of the pipe. Might be covered by gunk.

    I got stopped by a Forest Service Ranger back in about 1977 while riding a Husky... Ranger burned his finger when he used it to try to wipe off the gunk to read the stamp immediately after stopping me :doh: He gave me a lecture about spark arrestors and thanked me for riding with one after his partner found a rag and found the USFS stamp on the end of the insert.
