Close...but not quite - Page 2

So, I got the new battery from Amazon today. It arrived fully charged and I bolted it up as soon as I got home. There is some progress; the engine is turning over and trying to start. So, I likely don't have a short, or a loose connection, or a bad starter solenoid, correct?

.

1. Gas was on.

2. Bike is in Neutral, but I also tried with clutch in, just to be sure.

3. You don't see this in the video, but I also tried rolling the throttle halfway and then all the way and got pretty much the same result. The sound changed a little (actually thought it might go for a second).

4. You don't see this in the video either, but I also tried with choke off, halfway, and fully on. Same result and no change whatsoever in the sound of the cranking.

Please help me get this started. I have a feeling that you all are going to suggest a carb and/or jet change...

Thanks,
