And that hose goes to a canister and it has a vacuum hose connected to it right and the other hose goes to the bottom of the valve cover right. Alleyoop Yes, that is correct |

also, lower your idle adjustment screw all the way until the idle goes to the stop. and then make sure from there, that you have play in yoru cable. if your using hte idle stop screw, to raise the rpms then check your throttle play there, then youll have the throttle raised higher.
like, 0 is say the throttle cable was disconnected. the idle adjustemnet screw, was turned to lower the rpms. until it bottomed, out. if you know what i mean. the whatever, the throttle cable, nub, is attached to. hits whatever stops it from going down anymore. if its tabs, or the throttle stop in the middle of the carburetor, or a flap. make sure it hits the bottom. use the idle adjust screw to bottom it out. if its attached to a tab, or somethign thats not the actual thign getting in the way of the airflow, make sure that theres nothing, bent. or anything. like the tabs. someone has pulled out on it. or something. or pulled in. pushed. thats what to worry about. if it looks bent, i guess get a picture. then when you reattach the throttle, cable, at this part. make sure its attached right, at the handle, that there should be a lining up nub, on the 2 pieces of metal that line the throttle assembly on teh handlebar. its lined up. the throttle handle, is going on right, yoru throttle cable is attached right. then run it to the carb. and attach it. from there. when you attach it to the carburetor wherever you attach it to. you should have a 1/8 of an inch of slack or a 1/16th inch of slack, in your throttle handle. when you pull it back. it should pull up slack, before it starts pulling the spring that is attached to your tab or slide, or butterfly, that pulls out of the way of the airflow, of the carb, or.. in the case of the tab, whatever its attached to, pulls out of the way of the carb's airflow. youve seen a butterfly in a carb before right? like, a choke, or a gas thing, like in a car. the flap. that when its no gas its closed and no air flow.
then. you adjust your idle, and your mixture. from there.
if you have the carburetor adjusted with the idle high, with the screw turned like in. and the bikes not set for idle. your trying to adjust idle with the throttle pulled up, by the idle adjust screw, at say, 1/16 throttle. 1/8 or something.,

did you do the valve adjustment with the engine cold? 24 hours wait. I should let the engine sit for 24 hours before adjusting the valves? I adjusted them but don't think it was after 24 hours of sitting. |

I ran into another parts delay today. When I started it up this morning I noticed it was much louder than normal. I looked under it and found the two nuts that hold the exhaust on how come off and were on the ground under it. The pipe didn't come off the bolts so I just screwed the nuts back on.
When I started it something was still wrong, it was still loud. So I took it completely off and found that the exhaust gasket had been damaged, probably when I put the nuts back on and now it needs to be replaced.
I order a new one from amazon.com, waiting for the gasket...

yea wait on that gasket. you need to wait for the engine to be cold. takes around 24 hours. thats what everybody always said. if you didnt wait but until it cooled down enough, then you might have extra tight valves. cuase cold shrinks up stuff. or maybe loose.
maybe you can find a crush gasket at a local motorcycle shop, or something.

You do not have to wait 24 hours before adjusting the valves the best time is In the morning after sitting all night.

Yes, loose exhaust will throw everything out of balance. The exhaust provides back pressure necessary to make the entire air/fuel system work properly.

I can't get the stupid carb open. I tried and tried and the bolts just strip the heads off because of the lock washers.
Anyway, I just put the exhaust back on and the throttle feels a million times better. I only ran it for a couple of minutes but I think that might had been it.
Going to put it back together after dinner tonight to take for test drive.

Cool deal,,
Almost best to get a good aftermarket carb that can be modified easy,,got a nice keihin for about $60 I think it was...
Let us know,,hope you got it nailed!
You can try a bottle of that lucas fuel system cleaner,,just put half bottle in or so and run it,,that stuff is a miracle in a bottle..

It's still bogging on throttle. I might try to put the stock belt back on just to see if there is a difference

adjust your throttle cable yet? give it slack, at idle screw turned, out? watch out about finding, a keihin carb. theres lots of copies. best to find either a name brand seller, or a used one off a known to use that type of carb bike. like an xr80 but i dont know what carb, or bike your looking for.
