Hi there,
i just got a new GT5 SR kit from Gasbike.net
I've assembled it and got it running fairly ok. lol
but
ive got the dreaded 1/2 throttle bog.

Anyway, im looking into carb mods (specifically a Needle swap and a smaller jet)
because i seem to be dumping fuel and im on my last clip. lol

So saw a guy selling a carb on here, and signed up.
..now i have to introduce myself.

so here i am. and here's my bike btw:

It's a cheap(75$) Mongoose i found on craigslist.
Its no rust, light, and has good components, but its a rough ride with no front suspension. Still its frame was just begging for a motor.
i know my way around a toolbox, so it came together easy as pie.
thanks for reading, if you actually did lol

alright, back to the BST threads.

We're glad you joined up.

And it's a good looking bike.

Thank you very much.
i plan on building another for the GF, when i finally dial this one in fully.
have a great weekend.

i was obviously dirty head to toe at the end of the first day of assembly and test ride.
good times.
