So what did the service run ya?trump19 wrote:well bro i ended up taking my bike to the shop and after everything i tryed doing even cleaning the carbs nothin would work so i just said f it its going to the shop... myn ended up needing my carbs fully rebuilt and new stock plugs dude that fixed it told me the 8 dollar plugs are no good for that bike.. now keep in mind my bike sat for 2 years out side and the dude i got it from was a fat ass and so was his girl so this bike was beat when i got it ( still is) but any how it has 35xxx on it never had a shim job. after the carbs were reinstalled this think starts like a dream it went down to 30 last night i went out side and started this thing, and she started like she was new.... the only thing that sucks is when i rev mine i get that puff of black smoke but thats for the person behind me to worry about...... if you live in the rochester area and u cant figure it out i would suggest taking it to total cycle them boys know their shit and pricing is pritty good. but i deff would rip them carbs down
This is where I now am with trying to get the bike to run.

Re: This is where I now am with trying to get the bike to run.
those 8buck plugs were they iridiums or the other precious metal central electrode that is pointed ?
EVERY bike (11 of them) I have has precious metal plugs with the pointed center electrodes
bear in mind that 9 of those are 2 stroke where the plugs more prone to fouling, the Honda XL 185 has the same plugs as does my FZR (although I indexes them ).
From a reliability point of view a spark that is strong and always in the same place gives a flame front that is consistent to deliver the power.
I think you mechanic scored some nice plugs <BG>
