    The link I added takes you to an add, and at the top it says "continue to ebay" I dont know why, it did that automatically and I couldn't change it. That is great info, but I am not going to go that route as I said in the first post. I'm going to buy the vito's super-stock kit which comes with...

    Somthing horribly wrong, engine died? help?

    Ok, so when I am looking at the new reeds, the round flaps do not tightly seat against the square part of the reed. maybe I did over tighten? I could probably take them back off and flip them over. and make sure they stay flat. What i am trying to describe is that i could probably stick about a...

    Somthing horribly wrong, engine died? help?

    Update: My reeds/ diaphragm are broken. I took off my intake manifold rubber boot and found that they had fallen into pieces. What needs to be done here. So far, I guess i need some reeds, and also a carb rebuild kit with new needle, jets/ etc. and I will also get a 270 or 280 main jet.

    Somthing horribly wrong, engine died? help?

    what makes me shy away from the idea that the jetting was off is that it ran absolutley perfect after I had cleaned and re-sealed everything.

    Somthing horribly wrong, engine died? help?

    Also I have the TORS delete kit. But the idle adjustment screw does not work I should probably check that screw and put sealant on the threads. I have been setting the idle with the throttle adjustment on the handlebar, but that probably does not make a difference because its the same as if...

    Somthing horribly wrong, engine died? help?

    Tried new gas/oil mix, (dumped all the old fuel out). put in a new spark plug and it cranked right up and made it about 20 ft. It died again in the middle of my yard. its like once it gets past idle and into climbing RPMS it gets this hesitation, and then from there it is just struggling to...

    How do I quickly remove rattle paint from plastics?

    carb cleaner. end of discussion. use steel wool, then 1000+ grit sand paper. then make sure you get a rattle can of clear coat that is outdoor quality and paint it properly
