Default Top end time? With video

So the kid was riding yesterday when it all of the sudden lost power. I was able to milk it into the garage. Now...

On jack stands, you have to feather the gas, until you get mid - range then it's runs off fine.

On the ground, it just bogs and won't go at all.

You can hear the big toward the end of the video.

Just put spark plug tester on it and turned it over... It has weak, intermittent spark in the low RPM range. Gonna pick up a new plug and try that I guess.

I swear I posted a reply.... Guess it disappeared in cyber space. Surprisingly, a new plug seems to have made a huge difference... It seems to be back to normal... It definitely didn't act like a plug issue to me...

Clutch's need serviced periodically. Glad it's running.

Is that just s matter of checking the Rollers and adding a touch of grease.

Pretty much, yes. Rollers should have no flat spots. The rear clutch bearings should be checked also.
