Last night I did find an online sevice manual and decided to disconnect the reverse sensor lead just to see what it would do. With it disconnected it did not run any better but once I reconnected it allowed it to rev with out having to cover anything up. It did rev but not near as quickly as it had before. I took it out and rode it for over 15 minutes having to disconnect and reconnect the lead 4 times at fairly even intervals. However in between having to unplug the lead i had to play with the choke, the longer I rode it the more frequently I had to adjust it. At times it ran the best with full choke others with none at all. I did try covering up the intake again and but it did not help nearly as well as before. I really need to get it running correctly soon and this combination I found to work for a while, before running low on gas, has me thinking it could be a combination of the reverse sensor and not enough fuel.
