[william.betts]

hey guys thanks for all the help i finally got my bike up and running found a tank at a junk yard for 50 bucks petty good condition and the bike is up and running i have been riding it around the block for the past couple of days

i have some problems with the bike dieing on me and the back rear wheel alignment

the bike dying i have to bear down on the throttle to get it to start sometimes and sometimes when i come to a stop it dies its idleing about 1500 and the if i feather the throttle it will go to a 1000 one thing i have notice is after i ride it there is fuel coming from the hose that comes from the carb

the back wheel if i align the marks the back wheel rubs against the bar that the brake is on if you guys have any suggestions let me know thanks

 Usually drivability problems after a bike sits a while is the result of crap in the carbs.  Condensation & varnishing of the internal passages plays havoc with 'em.  Especially with your "hard start" condition, I'd remove and clean them before proceeding with further diagnosis.

As for your wheel alignment:  Is your brake caliper bar bent, perhaps?  A picture (or 3) would be best here.
