ok guise, I`m not very good with mechanics So help would be appreciated. I know a mechanic
but he`s in another town and i dont know when I`ll see him (hopefully soon). I`ve had my bike in storage for about 2 weeks with fuel in it; I thought the fuel shut off valve worked but it doesnt
so fuel was sitting in my engine I guess. While stored I installed a NGK b5hs spark plug gapped
to .024, I used anti-seize on the plugs threads. I also installed a in line fuel filter for a lawn
mower. Also installed a new muffler to replace the old one.I also tuned the carb. mix screw 4 1/2 turns counter clokwise from all the way in. and unscrewed the spark plug cable to see if it was copper
I`m running a 16 to 1 mix (I messed up I should be running 30 to 1). The bike I believe is an
all-stock happy time. 2 weeks ago on my last ride it ran good.
With everything done I decided to test it. Now the bike refuses to idle and has a hard time getting up to speed and doesnt go as fast at full throttle. Its also hard to turn over. I checked the plug wire and tightened it back into the cdi and boot and played with the mix screw to see if i could get it to
idle. Its running smoother now, but still not as fast and refuses to idle for more than a sec. and
sounds weak when it does. I`m on the last bit of the tank so I might just be out of gas, besides it will run down the street still. Any help appreciated, Right now I figure I`ll wait for my friend the
mechanic, and fill it up right this time and see what happens.
