    I have to concentrate on school so I've sold the project. I got it as far as running and driving but low on power, I unfortunately dont have the time for a project of this size and would rather use a car right now, but i will also be on the look out for another project, hopefully get one thats...

    Will only start and run with choke on

    those are not covered up, i know not to cover them that is bad. and yes i think those are my carbs, i still wish i could have the originals so i have a starting place for my jet and other factory settings to go off of

    Will only start and run with choke on

    ok, so beside my gaskets leaking a little oil, i got it to idle finally. the throttle cable was pinched and cause one of the slide to stay open all the way. fixed that and now i have power, not a lot but some. and i am able to control the speed of the bike again. so now i need to find a bigger...

    Will only start and run with choke on

    if someone has this setup then please help me out and post up your specs, i would like a baseline to go off of, thanks! Sidenote. I do not have a battery or kickstart ( stripped out). I have a high capacity capacitor. would that throw things off? Ive seen people use the same capacitor and have...

    Ok so after much trial and error, i have found that the right cylinder is not firing as much as the left one. The left pipe is way hotter than the right and this may be the problem ive been looking to solve. I have reseated the intake mounts and gaskets to assure that there are NO airleaks. I...

    Will only start and run with choke on

    the gas from the tank i just lined came out reddish color, so it had slight rust in it, but no real big particles, would that be the cause of my problems? i will measure the instake diameter today

    Will only start and run with choke on

    Okay guys here are the photos. and symptoms. As of right now i have switched out the stock 95 jets to 100. Bad idea, runs worse now. Right now, any throttle equals no power and nearly kills the engine. Only runs with at least one choke on, so the choke is my throttle as of now. The air screw...

    Will only start and run with choke on

    I will take the carbs apart tomorrow and give you guys a wealth of info, if you have the stock carbs, I would like to buy them from you, but I'm sure Im going to need bigger jets

    does it mean it is too lean? should i upgrade the jet size? it is a cl175 with non stock carbs and foam air filters. the bike dies when the choke is turned off

    Also, the kickstart is stripped out now, making tuning harder, it is a bump bike now.

    So i drove the bike around for a couple of blocks. Got a problem now. Only runs with choke on and with it off it runs a little 'off'. Any ideas? I'm thinking it is lean. My bikes and workshop painted the tank and seat black, quick and dirty. I'll go over everything once it is running right...

    It will start, the carbs are running a little lean, so ill have to rejet them, but I'm working on getting the controls perfect so it makes tuning that much easier. After I get it running the way I want, I will start to work on the aesthetics.

    im going to bring it back to life and just hold it on the bike until i can find a suitable replacement. It is a beautiful tank, i only need to widen the bottm out by an inch, i know a guy that can stretch it without cutting it

    Ok so it runs and can move itself along. I put on the chain the other day and with the help of some vice grips, was able to manipulate the trottle enough to get on it and drive it down the street. It idles extremely high right now, but I still have a bunch left to do, I'm just glad it has power...
