My bike only cold starts with starter fluid. I found this engine on the side of the road originally and so far i've replaced all mechanical, electrical parts, and gaskets except piston head and its rings. I have 2 rt carbs 1 walbro carb and 1 delarto all of them do the same thing. When I get on it, it runs slow, It runs happily of flat land but Roanoke is all hills, much like the terrain of San Francisco. Someone told me "it sounds like its pushing air up" from browsing and reading on this forum the common suggestions are compression test which I did and got 124 psi, spark plug check and I have checked and cleaned the one I was using (NGK BR7HS), but just in case that was bad, I switched to another cheaper lawn mower plug, and replacing the piston rings. I own the stinger engine which as I've been told is the GT5 engine so would this part work for my application?
The other thing is, I could buy jets to help with performance which I know i need to do because of my altitude (1,381 ft above sea level). Which jet should I use?
