If the reed cage was loose, But tighten now that should have resolved the issue.
Out of curiosity were is the air screw set to, Has that changed? Idle jets clog easy also since their the smallest jet in the carb so it couldn't hurt to blow air down to the bowl thro it. just my thoughts.
instead of leak down test you put a vacuum to the motor, same theory different way of the pressure on the seals. Will need a vacuum gauge thou. Auto part stores may have them to rent.
i found the troubles...........................
these are from a weedeater or small chainsaw, hahahahaaa

no seriously, tear that carb apart, again, 2 rides ago is too long ago to rule that out
check all jets, check the float level, that hesitation on them hills had me wondering that on the mountain, hows the petcock < supplyin enuf fuel ????
and dont rule out an electrical problem, they like to only show themselves under a load, as this sounds just like what 305 had goin on at busco last year, turned out to be the plug cap, but check the wire too
and yes to the vacuum test, thats actually the better way to do it, and is how ken oconnor does his leak tests
same applies to the seals, if bad, they will be sucking in, not out, as a pressurized leak test does
EDIT: I forgot about the high idle so all the stuff below might be off base. So now my question is how is the gas flo from the tank
That plug is perfect..exhaust side should be darker. I,m gunna go with electrical....woodruff key or the stator is starting to give out. I had one that would only work with high rpms, the rest of the time it was hard to start and ran like shizzit. Just a guess, but the plug looks great, good compression and no airleaks...there aint much left lol oh hows the ground
water and electricity don't mix well either, But you still had the same symptoms after tightening 2 bolts? No change or the change was minor? Like slowly fading away never to resurface till you forgotten about it kind?
orange wire?? Hummmm that maybe the gremelin you found there. What EVER YOU DO DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT LET THAT SUCKER GO!!!!!!
I'd sell the wife before i sell my 2-stroke
I ment the Gremelin, They're nasty little buggers. They love tormenting peps and the bikes they ride.LOL just be sure to bottle the little focker put it on the mantle as a trophy of the gremelin that got caught.)
ah hahaaaaaaa bob ure a funny as sh*t i think i'd do the same. when i sleep at night, the blaster and my bikes in the garage and my warrior OUTside bc no room. I have my glock26 on my night stand with my window cracked everynight WISHING a mofo would. lol I:I
