[QUOTE="jbird710, post: 231306, member: 132"] Have you rechecked the compression? What does your plug look like? Is it black and sooty or sort of an ashen color? You may need to adjust your jetting (different size jets). Considering the bike sat for so long and was locked up, it really should have the top end torn down. Check the bore, piston, rings, valves and valve seating. It kinda sounds like once it generates a little heat, something is expanding and opening up or sticking. You might also check the intake to make sure it’s not dry rotted or leaking air. You did drain the old oil and put some fresh oil in? You may need to do it again and check for metallic particles.
