i had my air filter off today and decided to play witht the slides on my carbs, the left one was nice and smooth moving and moved through the whole range of motion perfectly, the right one jammed half way up! it tursn out when i reassembled them the spring on that one got in there in a weird way. so i made it right. hopefully this will solve the 6.5 k rpm stumble i was having.

but the bike is running weird (before i fixxed the slide, and is still weird)
it starts and idels at about 1250 rpm, but that is with the choke full on. if i cut out the choke it stalls. of i ease off the choke and git it throttle it will stay running. but if i then give it any more than 30% throttle it stalls like it was it's job.

could it be bad gas?

cause the other day i patched my tank with some jb weld (all i had at the time) could that do it?

thanks for any help.

Try adjusting the idle screw so you dont need any choke to idle.  Then see if it will run better.  Sometimes when my choke hangs up my bike is all sorts of messed up, it will load up and die quite often if left on too long, once its off it runs great though, maybe you are having a simular problem.

i don't know wahts going on. i pulled the left plug wire off the spark plug, and bike didn't so much as hiccup. so i'm only running on one cylinder.

i checked the left for spark, and it has it, so what gives?

my idle hangs when i can ret it revved, but i can't find any air leaks.

now this is weird.

i put my palm over the left carb intake, i feel suction but bike keeps running. i put my hand over right intake, more suction, and stalls immediatly.

i'm stumped.
