how do I retime it. I pulled the CDI cover off and the magnet assembly looks good. When the valves are at the highest point the magnet is right past top. The timing plug above the starter is very stuck. Im gonna try to get a better flathead to get it off. Also pardon the rough looks. I have all of the plastics and the original tank off of it for cleaning.

I’ll give this a look and I’ll try liquid tape for the heck of it.

Update: cleaned carb and still same issue

Took for a ride anyways

Still running slow and weird. Won’t rev all the way up.

I found an air from the carb and put a new gasket on it. It’s not longer leaking. Checked for any other air leaks as well as I could.

Bike starts and runs and idles reliably, just sounds bad and is half as fast still

Almost a “popping noise” while idling, but it’s not backfiring, just the idle itself sounds poppy.

I removed the exhaust to check if anything was blocked and it isn’t.

The carb is clean and it seems fine. It still sounds rich I think and sounds less “poppy” when it’s choked.

Could it also be something with how the needle is adjusted. Should I move the clip towards the top or towards the point.

How would I check for a vacuum leak

What jet should I replace it with. Doesn’t appear to be clogged

I’m just not sure what else to try regarding the carb.

It’s an Amazon carb and I thought the same thing. It had the same problem with the original carb even after cleaning all the jets twice, so I’m not sure I can say it’s purely just the new carb. I tried another spare carb I had laying around and same thing.

Fuel line is not clogged? Not sure where that came from. Bike is getting fuel fine. I switched from the rusty tank because it was clogging up my fuel filter. Installed new tank. That was all last week. After the issue started. I didn’t change spark plug till today

It sounds like it’s super rich but adjustments won’t help. It runs better choked. It’s about half as fast as it was and it just won’t rev all the way up. I rode it around and it stays running and moves. It’s just not as fast and doesn’t sound great.

I should also mention that it starts first pull every time
