Ok, so I bought my 81 honda atc185, blew the motor in about a month, it needed rebuild bad when i bought it anway...well then i bought 2 whole motors, threw one on....no spark. threw the other one on, started first pull...I rode it for about 5 minutes then it started bogging down when you hit the throttle, it would idle just fine....well so i rebuilt my carb, it did the same thing ran great for 5 minutes after warmup then started doing the same thing...so i thought, must be a junk carb. so i buy a new one off ebay....throw it on...adjust idle...ran great for 5 minutes then it would just die every time i hit the throttle...it has me completely stumped...ive got over 500$ into this thing and it just isnt running right. ...idk if maybe the timing is off...if that could do it, i dont know. the plug is fine. could the spark plug make it do that? Really thats all i can think of, i have a top end rebuild kit but i dont think the new motor needs to be rebuilt, it was used but clean as hell and in mint condition. i just dont know...
please help.
