I think so what is the best way to check thank you for the input
It's just a slightly "educated" guess.
The last time the previous owner did a top end, he likely didn't get the power valves back in correctly....backwards is
very common.
Good way to buy a cheap bike with only a minor problem, though. LOL
If I just did a top end and the bike didn't run right...I would assume I got the power valves in wrong.
Best way to find out...yank the top end and check the power valves.
If they don't work right, the bike won't run right.
Even with a horrible cylinder and some carb probs, that bike should still pretty much run like a raped ape.
Unless you are at a way different altitude or something....jetting all by itself shouldn't make the bike run
that bad.
If it's easier,.....make sure there is no schmucky stuff in the carb.....and make sure the screen in the petcock is clean of schmuch from sitting.
I could tell you 500 things to look at after all the work you did....but my first thing would be checking those power valves....other then simply going over the
extremely obvious....air/fuel mixture, etc. stuff that could have been done wrong when either you or the previous owner tore it down.
Stuff happens, ya know...the phone rings, whatever.
Go easy when you pull the cylinder and you might be able to reuse the base and head gaskets.
What does the spark plug look like? Look at it and smell it.
