well change the gap to what it should be   or better yet get 2 new plugs.. check for fuel starvation...

You were bogging in your other thread which means you're too rich somewhere. Most likely, your floats are either set too high or something is making them stick open.

hey ya,, She worked soo good before she, only started this 2 days ago and i can't go anywheres. It sucks. How do you put the floats down, and what could make them stay open. Thanks

If it was fine and the only thing you changed was gap, then start there before messing with the carbs. The wrong gap can make a motor do funny things.

It could be a carb adjustment, but I'd start with the simple stuff first. Try riding on prime and see if that helps. If the petcock diaphragm is torn it can cause the problem you describe - happened to me a few years ago. Did you flush the old fuel before you rode? Did you empty the float bowls before you put it up last season? Also shine a light in the tank and make sure you don't have any rust in the tank clogging the fuel screen.
