I don't recall I bought the bike used two years ago and it seem to run fine at that time. I have always had the throtle governed to about 60% .

I would clean the carb again. Remove both jets and clean. It sounds like a plugged main jet to me.
We'll go from there. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I cleaned the main jet, it seemed to be clean and I checked the pilot also made sure all the passages were clear.
It is sounds like it is not running real crisp at full throttle. I hope my terminoligy is good. Could it be my cdi or the reeds , how can you tell?
Thanks
