And thanks for the help yall. I would be SOL without ya.

 

Is the throttle cable kinked or fitting tight under the gas tank? Or getting caught up? Sounds like it's binding.

 

Il check the cable tonight....but i cleaned the carb and put the rebuild kit in and it idles now..jut my other 1 that has a preformance exhaust on it won't idle...and i cleaned it and blew it out with compressed air and put the rebuild kit in...

 

I'm having problems with my gear shifter. I bought a bike months ago from this guy on craigslist. it had a honda ATC engine ( i beleive it's a 81) and a Yamaha quad body on it, it ran fine, until i tried changing the oil.....well i couldn't get the drain bolt to crack so i pumped the oil out then added new oil. okay then.... it wouldn't change gears! my gearshift wont hardly move! like i have to push HARD and i even bent it in the process. so then i found a screw just above the hi/low gearbox and it looked like i could add gear oil in it..ok i put gear oil in and fire it up...still wont go! so then one day i played around with the screw above the gearbox and found out it had a springand the thing that switches it from hi to low well the spring fell down inside the dang gearbox!!! i'm at a dead end here guys!!! someone please help!! I want to fix it so badly! I put alot of money into this bike by buying parts for the recoil starter,buying a hose for carb and spray painting it. so i really want to fix it. I cant mess with it til 2011 because i'm having a knee re-alignment coming up soon. but if you would, please study it for me? i'm a do it myself girl and i've learned alot of stuff on my own just by messing with bikes but i'm stumped here.

Thanks,
Jessie

It's your throttle cable replace it or adjust it mine did same thing

 

Check your throtle. It sounds like that might be your problem. Good luck!
