[stapleton1184]

Ok I have a bayou I have been working on runs at idle once the throttle gets to about 40 to 50 it falls in its face I have done the following

Cleaned carb SEVERAL TIMES

Compression test - good

Leak down test - good

Adjusted the valves - good

Checked timing - spot on

Coil test - good

Stator test - good

Crank sensor - good

Checked the crank key - good

Cleaned air filter cleaned gas tank sprayed carb cleaner around boot head and cylinder

All good

Tested carb float level - within spec

Only thing I noticed is there is a bunch of dirt and dryer mud in all electrical conections that will be getting cleaned this bike is all stock I'm just pulling out my hair trying to get this thing to run right

Also found the spark plug to be carbon fouled what would cause this is it electrical or carb

Think I found the problem looks like the rubber nipple on the float valve was gone got it to run as best as I could until the carb kit comes in
