Ok I'll make this as short as I can, got a 1974 cb125 for free from my dads buddy. It was sitting for 30 years. The carb was disgusting and it had no spark and the tank was gross and rusty.
So I have done the following-
Clean the carb about 10 times, clean the tank and added fuel filter
Replaced coil, points and condenser and battery
Gapped the points, set the float height, set static timing and gone through with a multimeter to try to find and issue with wiring
Here is my issue. I charge the battery and start the bike and it runs great... for about 1 mile. Then sputters and dies. It feels like a fuel problem but when I take the carb off again its completely clean.
But then it seems like it's related to something electrical because when the lights are on it seems to bog worse.
I'm ready to light this bike on fire and forget about it. But on the other hand I REALLY want to ride it because for the 1 mile it works, it's fun as hell and I have the biggest dumb smile on my face. It's just aggravating the crap out of me because it's such a simple bike and I feel like the problem is going to be so ridiculous that I'll be ashamed
Literally any help at all would be greatly appreciated
