Alright, just a little update and I could still use a little help. We have the bike running, in fact I took it for a about a 3 minute ride yesturday. Then the problem brewed up again.

The bike is idliing fine when I first start it and it seems as though once it warms up it almost loses power and then eveutually will stall out. There is some black smoke coming out of the exhaust which I believe means the bike is running lean. Big problem however is that once it warms up it still seems to be spitting out some fuel. What to do, what to do.

I have adjusted the float leve, replace the diaphram, raplace jet and pin and seat.

Any suggestions?

Black smoke means you're running rich. It sounds like there's too much fuel entering the equation.

Are you running the correct sparkplug?

 

After much frustration and about a few dollars in parts I have broke down and taken it to the shop. Let's see what happens now.

 

Should you need a used carb for parts or whatever, let me know

 

The bike is running, I repeat the bike is running. It was the float level and the fact the Carb was not the original part put on this bike. The pin and seat was not in correct and not the bike runs great.

Thanks for all the help,

Steve

 

Awesome! Sounds like one of those issues that would have been a royal PITA to resolve on your own. Let us know how it runs when you take it out for a ride.
