[QUOTE="johnrunner, post: 130212, member: 925"] Alright so tonight was a start. Got rid of the huge heavy dumbo mirrors and installed a small foldaway one. I also installed the new spark plug since the other has been in there for years. Drained the carb bowl and gas tank and added fresh gas. And the biggest thing was we installed a new 12 tooth front counter sprocket (stock was 13). That was fairly straight forward (Taking off the rear wheel on that bike was a pain as the darn spacers LOVE to fall out! :smirk:), I was just confused at first when I saw that the stock counter sprocket had two rubber spacers on it and the new sprocket didn't. Did a little bit of reading online and learned that OEM front sprocket sometimes come with those fused on to help with noise reduction. But performance wise, I was definitely able to feel the gain in bottom end grunt as it picks up to 40mph quickly and I really like it. Maybe adding two more teeth to the rear will make it that much more worthy :thinking: But top speed will be like 60mph :smirk: Thanks to my bro (mmjsport) for all the help! :hail: Only thing we didn't get done as it's getting late was removing the carb and cleaning it. Hopefully I'll get it done this upcoming week. Saw a lot parts to disconnect so I'm a little nervous :bonk: I turned up the idle on the bike as it seemed terribly low, and I noticed that the bike will maintain it's idle but then drop low for a little bit then go back up to speed. At one point it went down so low, the bike turned off. I'm thinking since the old gas in the carb sat in there for several months, the float is getting stuck? :confused: [/QUOTE]
