I finally got the bike running, after quite a bit of tinkering with the carb, and I'll be posting pics of the finished bike in a bit. But first I have something that's a problem, and something that might be.
-The Problem: I seem to be leaking a tiny amount of gas between the petcock and the tank. I'm using that little red gasket, and I've tightened the petcock as far as I'd dare. I'd rather have no leak at all. Does anybody know if that is wishful thinking.
-The Strange Situation: I can't really start the bike with the choke on full (lever up) or even half. She'll start fine with the choke wide open. I can't tell if the idle is set too high (or just plain wrong). It's a 66cc from Dax. (Thank you Dax, by the way, great stuff!) She seems way to anxious to take off and go, but I'm still trying to exercise restraint because I'm still in the break-in period so I've kept her at 15 mph and under, but she still shakes quite a bit when not accelerating. Any ideas?
