TCpapa said:I spent some time tonight with both bikes. Changed oil on both and went through the carb completely (again) on the 2002 and moved the clip on the need on the 2003. They were bogging pretty bad when giving throttle from idle. It seemed to help.
The 03 is running like a champ. A new plug gave it a little more kick for the little ones. The 02 seems to run ok in most throttle positions except for idle. I don't think there is anything blocking the pilot jet. The petcock is clean and it has fresh gas. It can almost hold the idle and it lacks power compared to the 03. It has a hard time getting moving in short grass.
I assume it needs top end work. I'm not sure if I should get a standard or overbore piston. I suppose I'll need to pull the cylinder and measure that.
Thanks for listening. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
