1000 new problems.

ok, so i ditched the old 13bt cuz of all its problems, swapped in a lower milage one with bac/thermowax/all the good stuff still on (except for rats nest)

cranked it up for the first time *ruuhruuhruuhruuh*

charged the battery, rechecked my grounds, cranks! goes to 2200-2300 rpms for about two seconds, then dies. if i blip the gas, itll hesitate, and go (slower than it should, but not horribly). if i hold the gas, it will die, unless its above 3 grand. wont idle tho without aid.

also smokes like crazy, (white smoke looks like).

annnd, clutch wont engage/disengage so i cant put it in gear. if i start in gear, ill start rolling when i try to crank it. slave cylinder is pushing the fork, and i have resistance.

i ran the vac lines via the simplified diagram. gettin spark on all the plugs (checked when it wouldnt start)...uhm, i dont know. im at a loss. and getting frustrated, anyone wanna come to alabama and help me? haha.
