bike starts first kick..btw...i have to rev it to the moon when i first start it up to get the crap cleared out, or it will eat a plug. the idle screw doesn't seem to do anything at all either. any comments? as far as the reeds go, you can see daylight where they meet on top and bottom. does that mean they are worn out? cleaned the carb but didn't readjust the jets..should I? I don't know how far the air screw is out but i have adjusted it so that the plug doesn't seem too carboned up. still a little dark though.about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle position being off, how would i check that?....thanks wornknobby oh yeah i adjusted the throttle at the bars to get some kind of idle because of idle screw not working, does that have effect? wouldn't idle at all before.
