Well I have checked, double checked, got the tank back on and went to fire it up and it started for a minute and then stopped.

Did you turn the tank petcock back to on?

Have you checked to see if you have fuel flowing into the carbs? Have you tried firing it up in Res, Pri and On to see if there is a difference between those? Are you holding your mouth right?

Got everything back together, fired up and took it for a short ride. Im still haveing the rattle in second and third gear and at about 50 miles per hour its losing power. I checked the chaing tensioner to make sure that rattle wasnt cam chain slap. Im just at a complete loss right now. I really dislike being a noob!

Might be worth taking it to a mechanic before you end up with a Siezed engine. I regret not taking my rattle more seriously.

Rattle and loss of power ... sounds like an air intake leak to me. Or exhaust leak.
Cool.

Hey Buddha, What should I be looking for when It cames to a leak at intake or exhaust leak. I know it is a silly question because of the obvious areas but is there something specific I should check
