Of course the next question is did anyone have a shop manual or the correct info when these adjustments were made??

Sometimes people that are new to a subject ask questions like that without realizing it. In that case, extending grace is in order.
That's a good question Cadman. He said he knew what he was doing because his dad had these bikes when he was a kid..hmm

Thank you for that break down Cadman. I will print that out and check each one by one. I appreciate it.

There are a few other obvious things -

Is the choke completely off?

Is the air cleaner new - might try temporarily removing it

Are all the brakes releasing -

If you are enthusiastic about this bike I would suggest you get hold of a good manual and read carefully. It is unlikely that people here will be able to remotely diagnose generic problems quickly.

Once you have learned a little bit about the bike you will be able to ask more detailed questions and therefore get better targeted answers. By describing the symptoms more carefully people can work out what might be wrong. Most manuals have fault-finding tables in them which are very educational.

What about the dealer you bought the bike from. Have they not been able to help?

Take care

Words of wisdom G-man. No, the dealership doesn't know a whole lot about it. It was sold as a consignment bike and sold "as is". They mentioned a few problems before I bought it and said they weren't familiar with those engines. I think it just wasn't worth it for them to spend much time on it since they didn't own it. I'll have to save up a few bucks and get that manual. God bless.
