After replacing new carb, new magneto, new killswitch, and new CDI bike was up and going better than ever. Started using 50:1 ratio with synthetic 2 stroke premium high rpm oil (change from reg 2 storke) and 91 octane gas (as usual).
Did about 130km or so and stopped the engine before making a turn waiting for traffic...and could not start bike back up.
Tried adjusting choke up down, choke spring level adjustments, pedalling my ass off and I am in great shape...nothing would get the bike moving forward faster than 2km/hr before shutting down after 50-60 seconds.
I am going to check my float bowl and inlet needle and air filter to see if any clogs, as I noticed some gas dripping a bit from the bottom of float bowl and air filter. On a side note I disconnected the killswitch due to it not working correctly despite being a brand new switch and wired based on the new wiring diagram on this forum.
I did notice however that when bike was running it took much longer for me to get it started, then it did before. I used to be able to leave the bike for 2 days without running, peddle 10 meters and go. Now I have to peddle for awhile while adjusting the choke till the bike kicks in. Also when holding clutch and brake it wont idle the engine as well as it use to....it tends to just turn off the engine now but before it would let me idle the engine for awhile at a stop sign.
Gonna check carb / float bowl / inlet needle / air filter...will keep you posted and any additional ideas while I am at it tomorrow would be great
Thanks

PS I highly doubt it but would flip out if it was another burned magneto despite having the wiring correct (As shown in this forum in a posted diagram) blue-blue / black-black with killswitch green to black and kilswitch yellow/orange to blue
