Ok i'm new to the forum as far as posting lol and i have some questions even though I've been browsing and searching the forums for over two weeks now!
Anyway i got my kit from Craigslist for $100 which is a steal but it's not running like it should stock.
Everything is stock and the guy i bought it from told me that the engine ran better with speed carbs ( the original are on the bike) but i can't seem to get it to idle.
I've adjusted the carbs many of times.
So i'm gonna somewhat start all over with new parts except engine, but before i do that i wanted some helpful tips as i'm not making an order until wednesday!
I was planning to purchase a new cdi, magneto and an intake manifold made by piratecycles1.com.
As of right now my jet needle is on the top most point and won't stay idled.
I was told it's only been through break in fuel/oil mix i'm assuming 36:1. I also noticed oil on the spark plug after attempting to start it. Maybe too much oil in the gas?
I'm also planning to replace the fuel lines as it isn't filled up the line.
anyway i did ride it for a minute or so and throttle respond is very poor.
So what do you guys suggest i do? Oh my spark plug is dark brown that's why i went more lean as it was too rich!
