[QUOTE="Cervantes, post: 74578, member: 611"] Good question. When I bought it, it ran decent, but often cut out a bit at Low RPM. This made it hard to manage in parking lots since it was hard to keep it from stalling while also keeping balance as it is a bit to tall and keeps me on my toes! The guy I bought it from said it needed a carb sync and that was all. I think that made me suspect of the carbs. I am trying to remember the other things I have done so far... new plugs, fuel filter, new timing belt and adjustment, even loosening the fuel cap. I tried a carb sync but would like to try it again as my gauge was not great. OTOH, I did not get new points or spark plug cables yet. I also did not do a compression test, though I believe it to be good... But now I have a compression gauge I will test it. So it sounds like I may be jumping the gun to jump right into a carb rebuild. I am really getting anxious to go on a road trip. we still have snow on our road (we live on a dirt road and it has not thawed all winter.) It has been TOOOOO long! I'll keep you posted and thanks for being a sounding board and sharing your experience. Thanks Cevantes [/QUOTE]
