Default Re: MX Bike Shops?

Im not sure if the carb was done with the motor, but I do remember fuel coming from the bowl drain tube once the bike cut off and I stopped. I figured maybe the float is stuck or something. After it stopped draining it would eventually start and do the same thing, usually when WOT in 4-5-6 gear. After cutting off 4-5 times I gave up since it wouldnt start and just cleaned her up. Before all of this it would start with the first kick.
The kid also said he ran race gas, and I think he said a ported head. Would running 93 or 89 in it cause this?

As for sitting I dont think it sat long, it ran very strong wjile it did run, and


I just bought this bike and another roller frame with motor. The owner really didnt know alot about them considering they are 3-5 years older than he said, and I had alot of work to put everything where it goes and line stuff up etc. Such as the radiators, electrics, cables, tires. Really needs brake pads front and rear. I shoulded have offered a little less but oh well. Atleast the wife said she would ride the other once its running.
Even if I get it running I still need to see you about rebuilding some forks, a shock, new chain and sprocket, and a new air filter. Possibly the other engine if you do that. Thanks again man.
