Did you check adjustment on throttle cable? Maybe needle in card is bent, or slide not going all the way down? Make sure that needle is going into the main jet and not hanging up.

 

Yes the needle is not bent and it is not hanging up. Now before I got it to stop misfiring it idle'd just fine then I replaced the spark plug wire took it for a ride now its gone to h*ck.

Sounds like maybe something in your carb is sticking. Also maybe you have an air leak and it's running lean. I know this really effects 2 strokes more, but just trying to help you run through all possibilities. Did you check your adjustments on carb? This could also be why you were misfiring.

 

Are you sure you are ajusting the idle screw and not the air fuel screw by mistake? If it is the idle **** make sure you are turning it out not in

 

Email me I have a pic of the carb that I have questions about a pipe coming out ofthe carb and what it could go to. I don't think that its an air leak cuz I have rebuilt the motor and everthing is sealed tight. Ya im sure that it is the idle screw cuz it has like a texture around the top of it to adjust it whenever you don't have a screwdriver. My email is

 

Thanks for your guy's help with my probleum yesterday I figured it out, all I had to do was adjust it from the lever on the handle bars so it would let the slide come down farther. It runs like a top thanks to all of your help.

That's good. That was what I was talking about in my first reply.

 

If it was still in the same place as before then somebody probably adjusted it to keep it running instead of fixing problems you mentioned earlier.
