think i found the problem



see the part of the t-seal circled in red? that is busted wide open

i have to take apart the carb to replace that don't i?

i can't even find which part it is on motosport.com...this bike is really getting on my nerves. 

it's either the carbs need to be cleaned (i can't do it myself because apparently i have to tune and set it or something if i take them out) or the valves need to be adjusted

either way it's gonna cost me money out the ass

now i'm quoting myself?!

not only is this bike giving me problems but now the forum is LOL can a mod delete these extra posts

Instead of starting new posts asking how to delete previous posts, then more quoting and more new posts, why not just edit the first post to show what you want. As for the others, just remove all text and write "Nothing to see here", or re-edit them and write something pithy in it

Since we are getting battery responses.I found the Scorpion Battery from battery stuff to be tops.It's an AGM battery.
$54 and free priority shipping.

I have this battery and prefer it over OEM. If I'm gonna leave the bike sit more than 12 hrs, I try to hook the bike up to a battery tender.  That in itself keeps me from having to worry about is the battery got enough juice to start this bike.

I would probably start by investigating your fuel lines. This sounds like it's trying to turn over, but it's not getting enough fuel.

If your fuel lines are fine, check your spark plugs. Are they corroded? Could be that the engine isn't getting enough of a spark to turn over.

Next I would probably take a multimeter and check my battery and then (if you have a haynes manual) run through the checklist on the electrical system.

Next I would look at the carbs. If everything looks good, move on to checking the valves. As it was mentioned tight valves could cause this problem.

If none of this works, it's probably something in your engine. Run a compression test and other engine trouble checking procedures and try to deduce it from there. It would really help if you were more specific.

So I had the guy come out and check my valves to see why it took forever to start, and one of the intake valves was somewhat tight so we switched that out and now it starts right up.

Well when we put it back together (after sitting for 2 weeks) it idled ROUGH, stalled at random times, and shot up from choke at random times, also backfired a lot, but after a few minutes of letting it run it idled a lot smoother (which was weird since we hardly touched the carbs at all)

my air filter is dirty so i'm gonna get a new one

so i put a new air filter in and changed oil and the problem is still there.

we set all the valves to .06...any other ideas what could be wrong? do you think it's the carbs
