  1. If you have spark at the plug and it’s clearly visible then that’s good. The pick up coil delivers the spark at the exact time it’s supposed to and that may be giving you a problem. But before you get into all of that double check the bike does not have a rev limiter that could be giving you a problem or just bad fuel? Carburetor is 100% properly adjusted ? Have you tried to make adjustments?
  2. That’s a great listing. Very honest ans straight forward. I would have posted it for $1200 and got talked down to $1000
  3. Lol no mean I tighten them down to a certain point and back off when I feel comfortable.
  4. I’ve never used a breaker bar and always used my own internal breaker bar method. Lol but you have to be careful either way.
  5. Lol you will get there and have it just the way you want it. Maybe not a newer one but a new year.
  6. Ok good luck. Keep us posted. Gaskets don’t forget gaskets.
  7. Ok so it’s below range. Could be that’s your problem. Where are you going to get the parts ?
  8. That’s correct @06kfx440 I use those apps as well as others including word of mouth. I always tell my friends that if you hear anyone selling please let me know. Now aside from that there are a ton of keywords also to use that helps me zero in on bikes that need work so I don’t get every newer type expensive bike that’s been listed. As well as looking every day. Early bird gets the worm 🐛!
  9. Even upside down the socket wrench still goes right to tight.
  10. Always good to have them. Not only for the bikes but cars etc.
  11. I don’t think so @JacobSlabach I think you are officially the youngest! Can’t say for sure but I would bet you are.
  12. If your handy and have ever changed oil on a car you can do it yourself. It’s just a s matter of draining the oil and putting a new filter in. The only thing I would recommend is being careful with the drain plug re oval and reinstall. Make sure you don’t over tighten it and spin it in the proper direction. Remember “righty tightly lefty loosey” ! The manual for the bike is very explicit and walks you through it. So if you’ve turned a wrench before then your good.
  13. I can tell you I’ve put a few on and they are strong. I like the color coding on them as well.
  14. Nice work so far. The screw on the bowl should have a small gasket or o ring on the screw. Double check that. And as far as corrosion on the carb, that can be cleaned with the a good carb break down and scrubbing. As for the jest that’s missing a few threads well of it tightens down you should be good. Electrical ! Something is missing that when you put the bike in gear it kills the ignition like a neutral safety switch tie in of some sort. Your loosing a ground when you put it in gear. When the break lever is pulled in and the bike is in neutral there is a wire that’s grounded to the starter relay that allows you to start the bike. The same thing is happening for you when you put it in gear that you kill the engine. So start going through the wiring slowly and see if anything stands out. Even a faulty ignition switch so double check that.
  15. Maybe a bad fuel pump. The diaphragm is bad. It’s common.
  16. That should be enough. The only thing I really have left is the pick up coil?
  17. Gotcha. Have you checked the spark for good quality ?
