[QUOTE="Miltbro87, post: 230600, member: 5614"] Well no luck.... Adjusted valve clearance just to make sure that was good, cleaned the carbs and added inline fuel filter with no change at all. If I throttle it from idle it will die unless I let off or throttle slowly. I still wonder if a tooth off on the timing just because it ran fine before I did the work on it. From what I've read the lines on the cam gear are supposed to sit flush with the top of the cylinder head when timing with the crank on TDC. I couldn't get the lines perfectly straight. It was slightly off but one tooth the other way was off even more soi got it as close as I could. I am mechanically inclined but this was the first time I've ever been inside a dirt bike engine or timed one so I can't help but wonder if I did something wrong. [/QUOTE]
