I picked up a new bike the other day, it needed some new parts (new CDI, fuel line, and spark plug)
the guy i got it from said it had been sitting for a year or more so fearing the worst i broke down the carb and cleaned it out, though it was not stored with fuel so it was clean
with a new plug and other parts, the bike fired right up, kidna....the way i have to start it is pedal really fast, drop the clutch (as usual) and then full throttle, pedal for a few more yards until it catches on, then keep the throttle full on until it quits trying to bog out.
Beyond the bike not idling well, it doesn't run strong, it is sluggish and weak. i adjusted the throttle cable so that it would idle, went for another ride and it over revved like crazy,
from a half idle and a slow speed, i cannot let the clutch out slowly and accelerate using the gas, i have to pedal fast and let the clutch out
all in all the performance is crappy, the engine is old, but the compression and spark are strong
any help would be awesome!
thanks
