So is it fixed now?  If so, what was it?

Enquiring minds want to know...

Nop! Just now I started it and when I choked it  the chock did not work, if I pull the lever all the way down it doesn't work, only if stop it about 1/4" it works.

I order the airbox to carbs tubes cause I see there is an air leak, I also added carb cleanner to the fuel tank. If It doen't get fixed with this, I will take it to a shop because I'm fedup with this S*$t :mad:

How about the boots between carbs and head?  Are those properly installed and clamps tight?

I had my carbs off today (first time) to rejet, and it is tough to get the boots on correctly.  A leak there would cause a massively lean condition.

Well I've never taken off the carbs from the head, I always leave the tubes on. If there is an air leak and I know there is one betwin the airbox tubes and the carbs. I've already order those tubes, I should get them by this thursday.

Would this airleak caused such lost of power? :icon_confused:

I don't think so.  A leak there would allow unfiltered air to enter the carbs, but probably wouldn't upset the metering that much.  On the other hand, larger air filters DO cause leanness, so I guess it is possible.

Are your airbox boots cracked, or just difficult to get on?  I sprayed WD-40 on mine to get them on; it helps and is harmless to rubber.  Then I used my fingers underneath the carbs to try to get the bottom of the boots on evenly.

One of the boots is cracked and both are hard, and difficult to get on the carburetors. I have already order new ones :thumb:

Something else I findout is that my bikes tank fuel shutoff valve is facing the wrong side! :o So this means the fuline routting is wrong!!
