Surely you are not serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. ................lm

??? perhaps im going about things incorrectly? please, guide my fledgling mind... my dream does have some strange tuning issies that i need to discuss with you all soon, but im trying the easy things first....plugs, wires and plug caps... it doesnt like to run except for on the richest setting, and even then i cant seem to get it to come down to a reasonable idle using the air screw... also, if you goose the throttle, she climbs way high and stays there for a bit....suggestions?

thanks...

Hey guys,
Turns out the problem with my carb was the slow jet -- I had cleaned it and blew through it and what I thought was air going through turned out to be just a bad seal between the jet and my lips... live and learn.

I got it cleaned and reamed until I could see a pinhole of light and then it was just a matter of tuning the carb. The bike now starts on the first kick and runs great. Thanks to all you guys, and LM, you're alright no matter what everyone else says about you ;-)
