[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 73184, member: 21"] Unless the floats are way off I still say it's crud in the carb. I've had to clean several times in order to get a old neglected bike to run correctly again. When you think it's clean enough, keep cleaning. If it's not that then it's almost for sure something else carb related like a missing part or something was put together wrong. I don't have the particulars for that bike, but usually the float is level when the valve closes. Hey speaking about the float, it's not in upside down is it? I've put them in that way and the bike sure doesn't run right. There is a small chance that it's ignition related. I've had the condition where the spark is good enough to fire at idle, but the denser charge of wide open stopped the spark. New plug perhaps? [/QUOTE]
