[QUOTE="Theazezo221, post: 227151, member: 5173"] Update : It turns out after watching a random video on YouTube that I didn't assemble tha carburetor correctly I had the float setting untop of the needle valve not attached to it. Therefore the gas was not getting in. I fixed that and changed the gasket whit RTV gasket maker and let it set till next day. Then when I try to start it sounded promising then a very weird sound came from the engine kind like a gun shot not an engine sound I got scared and stopped for a bit. A few minutes later I tried again and it backfired, I said dang it I'll try until one of us die. Full throttle it started properly for a split second and stopped. Somehow I ran out of gas?? I had plenty in there where did it go? Anyway I poured more gas and it turned to be leaking from the carburetor overflow. I tryed to turn it on anyway it only runs in full throttle for a sec. So I knew that my pilot jet is properly clogged. I took the carb out and it was a mess in there the rtv was everywhere. And the float was stuck to rtv I cleaned everything and applied rtv again but in much smaller quantity and I'm waiting for it to dry. Another interesting thing happened while I was kicking the engine. My bike has a light high and low switch, for some reason I turned high beam on then when I kicked the engine my dash lights would turn (I have three lights in my dash high beam neutral and oil) the neutral and high beam would turn when I switch to low beam none of them light up. Anyway my motivation just skyrocketed and I can't wait to try it tomorrow. Also I disconnected the oil injection cause I'm not sure if it works properly. [/QUOTE]
