[QUOTE="Lovespeed, post: 190264, member: 3063"] Great news! Spent the whole afternoon and part of the night working on the bike and fixed every problem I found on it all at once! I can't believe I did all this for $150. I pulled of the carb and wow... It was FILLED with so much gunk... No wonder it wouldn't run. I pulled the throttle cable out and it was actually stuck in really good because of all the crap inside so that was the cause of the throttle not moving. Fixed the first issue! Next was cleaning the rest of the carburetor. There were clumps of stuff in there. I cleaned every bit of it with carb cleaner and then put it back on, turned on the gas lines, and no more gas leaking out! Second issue fixed! Last was the big moment. I rolled the bike out of the garage with no body panels on and cranked it. I kicked over and over and got nothing. Then I remembered. I didn't have the clutch pressed in.... Lol so I pressed the clutch in and it cranked right away on the first kick! I cranked it a lot more to make sure and it cranked first kick every time! I rode it around a little bit and everything is working great. I can't wait to put all the panels back on and ride it all day tomorrow. Hard work pays off. Thanks for all your help everyone! This was the best $150 I ever spent! Also forgot to mention that I put a new air filter in and noticed that there wasn't even an air filter in it at all -.- [/QUOTE]
