That's my gut feeling here too. It has to be harness or frame related. This bike had the harness torn apart because someone lost the key and hot wires it past the ignition, so the lights and everything thing else was disconnected. It was a mess but I thought I had sorted it out. I put a toggle instead of the ignition and got the power bavk to everything but perhaps I've missed something. Thanks all for the help. I'm going to spend a while stripping all the harness and making sure it's good. Would a bad wire make it spit through the carb and carbon up the plug?

Sony swear to it but my 85 lt230 broke aground wire at a solder joint in the harness and didn't go past half throttle without spitting

Just pull the tank and seat and the whole harness can be swapped from the other bike.

Can do lads. I'll try this all out. Thanks again. But as a side note, in the other bike I was able to pull start it first pull and it didn't bog at all. No choke. I know my camaro has to sit there for ten mins or it will flood like you wouldn't beleive. Would this indicate a pre-existing rich condition?

Okay guys I'm back. Swapped the harness to no avail. BUT I did notice something infuriating. I'd only bought this a few days before this thread so I didn't know... The middle gasket on the jug, (head gasket?) is bubbling oil and a bit of smoke out. Would this do it? Is this destined for the scap pile? Haha

I would think its possible. Losing compression as well as suckin air in

Okay. So the parts are all in and the engines done, ready for assembly. Pretty simplistic but I want to make sure I do this right. There are two I rings that go on the stud spacers. Do they go "jug, spacer, or ing, then head gasket? It seems as though that's how it came apart. There was only one installed* and it seems when I do it this way the head gasket may not seat properly? The manual is so vague it's literally no help.
