[QUOTE="Sambino, post: 1397598, member: 120194"] totally cleaned the carb all the vents everything checks out. I cleaned the air filter, oiled it back up and went out for a spin. everything was going fine till I came close to full rpm and the bike went to fall on its face and as I was leaning down to reach for the choke to see if that would help the bike took off and started screaming I pulled back the clutch and the rpms soared into scary rotations I hit the kill button and it didn't do anything so I reached down and pulled the plug boot to kill. pulled the plug and it appeared to be normal. So I gave it a kick and it started right up. It continued to act up on me for an hour ride tonight doing the same thing I would get close to full rpm and the bike would just take off I would then ride the brake and it would eventually give me back control but it did this in every gear. It isn't the throttle cable because I just replaced that. The guy I bought the bike from was telling me he was having the same problem with it. The first thing I did when I got the bike from him was replace the throttle cable and man did it need it. Now I'm thinking it was something else as well. Tonight it seemed like the spark was all over the place at one point it stalled on me at the bottom of a hill. I would kick it, it would start it would rev but when I engaged the clutch it stalled. Then all of a sudden after a minute or so it kicked it engaged and it climbed like normal. I'm thinkin its the cdi but don't know how to check this. if the bike is running normal most of the time, do you wait for it to act up to check the current? Thanks everyone for your help and patience... this thing is drivin me nuts but I know I'm close to getting it there and really like the machine a lot [/QUOTE]
