[QUOTE="sm7482, post: 1260323, member: 84044"] [b]Frustrated please look! 1982 xr100 running rich, need help[/b] hi im new to this forum, anyway ill start from the begening. Im 14 and was given an xr100 for free because previous owner didnt need it. it didnt run cause they messed up the carb. after a while my buddy and i got it running but it smoked like crazy. i decided to do a restoration to pass time. i got it nice and proceeded with the engine. i had it bored to .50 new gaskets whole nine yards. i put the engine back in the bike and too my suprise it was smoking again. i tried the idle screw, pilot screw and it helped but still smoked. I talked to my dad and he said th float might be adjusted wrong. I started toying with it and it helped but still was either to lean or a tad to rich. I adjusted the float, pilotscrew and idle screw to the shop manuals specsbut its still to rich. I adjusted the valve clearence but did no good. The plug comes out chared and its not oil because the smoke is a gray black. am i missing somthing? clymer manuals arent really clear in that section. Ive been close but no go. any help appreciated. might the points be dirty not supplying a strong spark? [/QUOTE]
