    Yea I cleaned the jets, but im not running an air filter so it is probably clogged again. I know my buddy has a compression tester so Ill get that done. What do you mean take out a spark plug to determine if it's flooding? NOOB sorry lol

      The bike won't run for crap without the stock airbox w/filter installed, unless you have rejetted the carbs. Sorry if you already know this but just in case you don't...

        Pull two spark plugs- if it's flooding, they will be wet from fuel after a bit of cranking. Since you don't have air filter element, pull right side cover off and block openning to airbox with your hand. Full "choke ", NO throttle, and crank it over. It won't run right without filter element, but it should start.

          All Fired Up!

          lol yea I knew bout the air box but thanks

          Got her started!!!

          Took the "new" throttle tube off and replaced it with the old "janky" one I had. Bike fired right up with a little bit of choke, which means I still got a clog somewhere in the carb...

          Gonna do a compresion test tomorow and check the valve spacing while I got the calve cover off to fix the gasket.

          Thanks all for the tips and advice.

          OH!!!! and rode the bike for the first time today (first time riding ever actually lol)
