Get that fuel line replaced or you'll be wrenching that carb off again, hahahah. I only say this because I wasted a bunch of time on carb clogs with this bike.

I'll add this last thing...I can say with almost 100% certainty that these bikes are all test-ran before they are shipped. If it didn't have any mileage on it and the plug was clean when you got it,...

They are set very lean from the factory. Kind of a preference thing I suppose, but I've always known lean to equal shorter maintenance cycles. =) Also it vibrated too much for me to begin with..made...

Based on your laws and such where you are, if you are able, I would say it is worth the time to cut grooves in the pins in the bottom of the carburetor bowl and remove the anti-tamper cap on the fuel...

Something that will help you, I'm sure, is replacing the fuel lines immediately. The rubber doesn't jive well with some gasoline additives(i.e. ethanol). Mine and a friend's Apollos DB-36 deluxes...

The pilot change may not make a lot of sense given my previous post, but it turns out I was lean on the pilot, not rich. Also does anyone know if there is a rubber O-ring in the air screw hole of...
