now its acting funny. I blew up the rear end and finally got around to swappin a lsd in there. It sat for about 9 months and I started it only a few times during this time. Now its all back together, battery completely dead but when I jump it I can get it to idle fine but it it revs up sloppy. I poured some MMO down the carb and let it sit over night then turned it over a little and did it again. Today I will change the plugs. I alredy checked the wires out and used alot of carb cleaner on the mikuni. If all this doesnt fix it what is the next thing I should look at? compression test? I dont think the motor is bad because its not shaking all over the place or anything its just very choppy going thru the rpms. Will a fresh battery help it out? Sorry for the long post but I need to be able to drive it about 10 miles to my nw house this weekend
Thanks guys

 

Look at the basic things first. Take out the plugs and inspect. Inspect plug wires. Check to see if there is a bad smell from exhaust, could be clogged Cat. Check for any of the hoses on the carb that may have come loose. Then see if the timing is proper. After that, you may have a fuel problem. Could be the fuel pump or bad gas or clogged fuel filter. Possibilities are endeless!!!

 

after the mmo treatment and carb cleaner stop burning off Im gonna put the new plugs in and change the oil. I check resistance in all the wires and the 2 leading wires were 1500 ohms and trailing were both around 1000. cat is holllowed out. new fuel filter pressure is good also. Bad gas could be the problem it was just about empty and I added a gallon Ill ad some more today. Thanks

 

get your battery tested. Just because you can jump start it doesn't mean the battery is in good condition.

 

To rule out gas why not run fresh gas from a clean container straight to the carb.

 

you my friend are a genius, ill try it now

 

Any update?
