[QUOTE="cactusreid, post: 815781, member: 38527"] Ryclef : You most likely have a carb problem of some kind. Did you change altitude (of the bike's home area} to where you live? You may have to change some or all of the jets in the carb if you made a significant altitude change from where the bike came from.Check with the locals for jetting specs for your area if this is the case. ( 2-3000 ft will make a huge difference on some bikes as to how they run) It may be just a plugged up jet/old gas in the float bowl of the carb. Is the air filter cleaned and reoiled? CLean the engine first and then proceed to next step. Pull the carb off the bike, un screw the carb cap and pull out the slide and then take the float bowl off,check for sludge in the bottom of the bowl and then clean out the jets. Use a can of sprayable carb cleaner, unscrew the main jet( hex one on the post in the middle) next take out the pilot jet (small flat blade down a tube close to the main, and spray it clean all over those little holes. now slide the pin out of the float tab and remove the needle valve and clean this stuff as well. Write down the #s that are on the jets for reference later. put it all back together ( no parts left over this time-ok? ) I'm a bodyman so I know this joke!! check and clean everything else on the carb with the spray. Check the small flatblade screw (airscrew) at the back on the side. most bikes will run pretty good with about 2.0-3 turns out from bottomed in GENTLY to the carb.Now pull the spring up to the cap with a couple of fingers to release the funny looking plate on top of the needle in the carb slider. release the cable out of the notch and seperate the slider from the cable. some carbs have a screw or 2 or a hex nut and a plate holding the needle in place. Pop the needle up and see which slot the clip is in #1 is at the top #5 is at the bottom- write this down there will be a test later!! now put it all back together and try it out to see if you solved or at least helped out the problems. I bet you will notice a big improvement. Be careful to get the carb back in the rubber boots with a good seal ALL the way around and the clamps snugged up when you reinstall the carb.Now if REPUTABLE locals gave you #s of jets that were different that yours,proceed slowly changeing one jet at a time and then testing the result. this way you will beable to see /feel the result/good or bad. You will also get good at RE &RE of your carb. Good luck I'll keep a eye on this thread for your comments. [/QUOTE]
