Ok guys, here's where I'm at...I had a bottom end rebuilt by someone who is reputable so I had a good base to start with. The top end I have a ported jub which was bored to .050 I believe (also from a reputable machine shop). The shop ordered me a Namura piston and a new bearings and a cometic gasket.
I went through Ken O'Conners rebuild instructions as well as going alot of research before hand on here too. so Im 99% sure everything went together as it should. cleaned jug, oiled rings, torqued, the whole 9. got the engine in the bike and started going to town wiring it up and removing TORS and the e-brake.
The oil is blocked off correctly and so is the carb. using Klots super techniplate 32:1 premix w/93 and belray gear saver 80w in the bottom.
Kicked over second kick with the choke on. and IT WONT REV UP! I have only run it maybe a total of 3 min total. between trying new things. It sort of stays running but wont go past like 20-30% power. just bogs.
I have already made sure the gas is flowing out of the tank, filling up the carb, etc.
The carb has been cleaned by me a few times and it has a 230 main jet in it now.
I have been working on it for the past 2 months here n there. (It's actually for a friend as I have a Warrior 366 I:I.
Could it be weak spark? or a bad stator? or does it sound like lean fuel? possibly carb issues? also for e-brake switch I just unplugged it. Im not sure if 03+ u need to splice them together or not??
Any help would be huge! much appreciated. I've been sweating for weeks building this thing and now this!
I will post a video if i can later showing its symptoms. and also the ground points..maybe someone can help, could be a bad ground?
**Background on the bike**
The bike started out as a roller with a box of parts. The previous owner blew the top end and messed up the bottom end and cases too. I got a parts bottom end and a head but no jug. flywheel and stator were removed and in the box. along with the carb and everything else but the suspension and wiring. He had painted the frame from a beautiful SE anodized red to a graphite color. X(
Here's some pics of when we picked it up
How it sits now w the new engine!
