[QUOTE="wedoo2, post: 206967, member: 4569"] Guys I'm sorry about the video. I guess that the google photo thing doesn't work quite right. I will take another video with my phone and try to get it to work. I have a petcock problem. Not getting gas to the carb the way it should and am having to spray gas in to get it started. Then it runs at top speed. That is probably an idle adjustment and I'm working on that. There is a knob on the top of the carb that can be twisted to adjust the idle but doesn't seem to work. I'm going to switch the petcock from bike #2 and see if I get reliable fuel flow. I did not try to turn over #2 until last night and it is still frozen tighter than (insert your own joke here). I will probably try heating the cylinder today and see if that works. If not I'll drain out the oil and look for metal, take off the head and give a look inside. I'll post up results. Considering the shape these bikes are in I find it hard to believe that something is actually broke in there, although as you can see in this picture there is a lot of disintegrated foam crap in the air box.
