[QUOTE="Dr Rockso, post: 1294866, member: 81025"] i'm going to go get another set of feeler guages today , my compression tester is dead , but the bike feels like it's got plenty of compression , and it doesn't smoke , it actually sounds really good . it's impossible to set the exhaust on this one with no drag because they put a spring on the rockers for the exhaust valves that keeps the rockers down , when i did them i just tightened the adjuster untill i could still slide the feeler guage around and then tightened up the nut . i'm also going to buy a can of carb cleaner with the little straw and give the carb another go , it's getting better , so maybe there's still some junk in the pilot circuit somewhere . it's that normal to have to adjust the idle all the time ? i mean when it starts the idle is way high and once it's warm it's super low . all of this is without the choke on . all my other bikes idle like crap untill they're warmed up , this bike seems to be the complete opposite .
