It may be a spark related issue but not with the plug. Check all your connections right back to the CDI, I ended up spenting 170 unnecessary dollars for a CDI when it was a loose connection on the CDI.

Check the coil first.

 

Loose connectecion on the cdi...where abouts? like what do u mean?

 

buy a needle and seat set (not the float needle, the jet needle)-mine was doin the same thing, solved my problem completely, though i had to experiment with the position of the clip a little....(easy after having the carb off 3-4 times)

 

thx for the help[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img], am i able to buy the needle and set by itself or do i need to buy the whole carb kit?

Well, i just phoned my local honda dealer, and he quoted me $29 (cnd) for the needle and seat....they dont even sell complete carb kits...so asked is they sell main jets....nope??..so im like wtf??if my dealer doesnt sell them, who will??? Now, if i fix that carb up with the needle and seat, i know that the new piston with make it run leaner, with the carn back to normal conditions, will the new piston make the mixture to lean, ??
