This engine is nothing but trouble, I swear.
A while back I had this same problem - riding the bike just fine, came to a stop light, and when I tried to pull away and give it some gas, it bogged down and barely sputtered along. I pedaled it home, pulled off the carb manifold, exhaust, and head, applied a healthy dose of RTV gasket sealant on each gasket, bolted it back together, and voila, it worked.
Anyhow, I've got maybe 40 miles on it since then, and I'm back to square one with the same problem. It looks like fuel may have been leaking out the front side of the head gasket, so I've got one ordered from SBP, but am I going to keep running in to the same problem? What else can I do? My other motor didn't misbehave like this.
