[QUOTE="kdxgeoff, post: 823772, member: 56000"] alright thanks guys i have a place to start working and things to look into. its late and gotta go to work tomorrow so it might be a few days before i can get back to it. hopefully friday. it seems like i'm having a hard time at about 1/2 throttle so i'm gonna clean it all up, carb and pipe and make sure the airbleeds are clear and try moving the clip down. i'm thinking it might be running lean seeing that the guy i got it from said the main jet needed stepped up but it shows signs of running rich. i understand the post about the airbleeds might be clooged and not properly atomizing the gas letting in droplets, spooging up the exhaust fouling my plug and giving a false positive so to speak for it running rich when its actually lean. i just hope i didnt try to much to get it running and burnt the rings or piston. i guess i'll find out soon enough. didn't know anything about engines or motorcycles a year ago but after buying to streetbikes from the early 80's and now a dirtbike from the early 80's i'm quickly learning. i managed to get both the streetbikes running with the help of guys like you on the forums so i plan on getting this one going too. its just too much damn fun to ride to let it sit around. besides e-bay is a godsend for anyone with an old bike. if i need it, i'll find it and if its broke i'll fix it. so thanks for the help. i'll be back in a few days so don't forget about me cause i'm not giving up on this thing. thanks [/QUOTE]
