I was wondering if this is something normal with the HT motors. If I lean my bike to the right, the motor will rev up and run pretty smooth. But if I lean it to the left it idles low and quits. It runs fine while I'm riding it and leaning into curves doesn't effect it, but I just noticed this the other day when I got off of it. It's not really a problem, but if I want to let it idle while on the kick stand, I have to turn the throttle screw in a little. Of course if I lean it the opposite direction or keep it level it runs fine. Just thought I would ask if anyone else had this same condition.
Lean motor one way it dies, opposite way and it revs

hi jmccrury
I have never owned or repaired an HT motor
learning a little about them -- from this site
to say the very least -- THEY ARE VERY INTERESTING !!!
what's causing your HT condition would I think -- have to be a fuel issue
a few things come to mind -- but I am guessing here --
float, angle of carb tube...
you mention leaning your MB to the right and left
are your handle bars changing position from right to left also ?
if so -- this may be a cable issue -- causing change in idle..
at least it's running and you can ride that thing -------------------- MM
