    Question 86 350x help/ i posted new pics here

    I just bought a 350x for $275 they said it didnt run. i tried kicking it over and its a leg breaker but it does spin and seemed like if the decompression was working it might run. I just cant get it spinning. so my question is how do you activate if you will the valve decompression on this bike.

    it'll activate on it's own if adjusted properly. check up top where the cable is, running from near the kickstarter to near the cam.

    you want the tiniest bit of slop in the cable...less than an eigth of inch or so I've found.

    might want to check your valves as well.

    Your best bet would be to pull the clutch cover and have a look. Is there any adjustment left in the clutch cable itself? I'd start there....

    $275?!?!?! Post some pics!!!

    i got it figured out they person who put a new clutch in it im assuming the guy i got it from had a washer on the clutch bearing surface and was not letting it disengage and no gasket on clutch cover so i fixed both of them and it runs now. 275 for a running driving 350x lol. now i have to clean the carb. i tried putting pics up but they are too big should i have to reduce the picture size

    another question does anyone have a twist throtle on their 350? i honestly cant stand mine because it seems like when you hit any bumps your hand is constantly making it rev up and it has a bit of torque so it lunges forward a bit. so if that makes sense does the thumb throtle help solve this problem?

    sweet score for that price, looks like the tires are worth that. that bike running or not would easily fetch 800 or more around here.
