I'm having an issue with my 87 CR. I got it running, but it isn't riding well. It starts first or second kick, idles and revs perfectly. BUT, when I start riding, it's very sluggish. It feels like the clutch has a wicked slip, but the cable is adjusted for it to be as engaged as possible. When I start moving, it slowly gets to a slow speed (approx. 10 mph) and levels out. It can be wide open, but it stays at a constant speed and rpm. If you come off the clutch wide open, it bogs and will die unless you pull the clutch right back in. I adjusted the carb to the specs in my Clymer manual. Any ideas?
edit: Also, when I took it on it's first run after getting it running, it ran like this, then after it ran backwards (see thread "interesting...", it ran well. It ran out of gas, so I put a gallon in it and it ran badly again.
