[QUOTE="DoU420?, post: 1323941, member: 100555"] I just bought this bike and it has been sitting in a field for a year. It looks it too but a little tlc might go a long way. Prev owner tried to get started, but paint thinner is hard to burn even with new gas. Took the carb completely apart and soaked in parts cleaner along with the throttle assembly to get the gum out. Pristine now, but I lost all the adjustment settings. I think the idle screw was out 1.5 turns, but the jet needle in the throttle valve has notches in the base for the c-clip. does this allow metered air in the carb as you rev the throttle? Should I start with high airflow and adjust the idle or put the clip at the very end of the needle and start adjusting the idle? I'd like to go through it and replace the broken or missing pieces but I'd like to get it started first and go from there. The reeds look fine and look like they are sealed up pretty good. Needs a power wash and the headlight has been completely ripped out. Any help is appreciated Mike [/QUOTE]
