I didnt have the money to get a new stator and CDI box and redo the flywheel. But now that it runs I'm just prolly gonna keep it and restore slowly one piece at a time. I was just iffy if it was ever gonna run without dumping $ into it. Runs super rich and the plug is wet so I got a 260 jet on the way. Came in pieces with rust and permatex in the carb an had a 300 jet instead of 260(stock) But whatever. I got it all back together with a new kicker again and it runs strong. Almost broke my leg on the kick lol. Started first kick tho. Put a smile on my face.

Yea and my carb boot I had to permatex cuz its cracked everywhere

If it won't idle down no matter what you do, it would seem to me that it's runing lean. Having a crack in the boot/ removing the airbox are going to cause it to be lean. If you think it's running rich, check to see that you have some freeplay in the throttle cable and that the slide is going all the way down in the carb.

Yea I wanna order a new boot. And I have the needle at factory 3rd slot. By it had a 300 jet. I'm gonna go to 260 and fix the boot and see if it's any better. If I turn the screw left or right will it raise or lower idle? Which way is which.

Right (in) raises it and left (out) lowers it.

Thanks. That's all I needed to know. I'm pretty sure its a stock pipe I have to check. The muffler is and answer.

the exhaust isnt stock and the bike was raced so im gonna keep the Aftermarket exhaust and 300 jet and needle groove just to see if the intake boot makes a difference.... also i dont think my slide is going all the way down either i may have to slack it up
