[QUOTE="Lovespeed, post: 195618, member: 3063"] I started this thread late but I'm going to go ahead and say what all has been done so far. First I cleaned the bike up real good and then took all the plastics off to work on it better. So far I bought a brand new spark plug and a new UNI air filter. I removed the gas tank and took it to get the old gas dumped out (there was lots of bad stuff in there) and cleaned it out real good. Next I scraped off all the old graphics. I also took the exhaust off and put degreaser inside and then sprayed all the carbon out. I also took off the old air filter and all it was, was an old dirty sock wrapped around the metal filter..... That's another hint about how bad this bike was maintained before. I removed the old spark plug which looked liked it hadn't been changed in 10 years. The only good thing on this bike is that it has a new carburetor. The carb has not been adjusted at all though, so it seems they just installed it without adjusting the screws. I'm sure once I adjust it it'll actually idle since the screw is turned all the way out. I'll keep you updated on the progress of it as I go. Shouldn't take too long, just a lot of minor things.
