here's another goofy question...
is your clutch arm hitting your carb? i've seen that before. you might be shifting your carb when you pull in the clutch, enough to make an air leak.
i don't think the wires, the magneto, the cdi, or your connections are related to your problem if the bike runs, and revs, but just won't idle, it's almost certainly gotta be fuel related, not electrical.
be careful how much stuff you start messing with, or you'll compound the problem. eliminate one thing at a time till you find it.
and i thought the same about my plug wire, but it really does unscrew. you wouldn't know by looking, but it does. |

Are You Running Any Lights Off The Motor? I've Found That To Many Lights Will Make It Hard To Idel, Or Not Even Start. |

I have been looking for solution on this issue for 5 days research all over the forum before I open up this thread.

Yes on a dead stop when I pull the clutch lever at half way it does rev at full RPM and when I pull it all the way the engine stalls. I wish I can get a video of it for you to believe. |

Check the post where the clutch cable attaches to the motor.
It may need screwed in more.
Seems to leak if it is screwed out too far.
Mine had idling issue and thats what fixed it. |

Is the clutch cable binding or pulling the throttle cable?

I do not know the question about twisting the throttle. This issue is about idle..what I know you should not twist the throttle if you want to idle. It should be in the un twisted position...correct?
