One Problem Goes Away, Another One Arises
First it was bogging down when hot, I put some sea foam in and it was hard to start, it would die immediately when the choke was on, But once it warmed up, with me revving it, it would do fine. I dessembled the carbs yesterday and cleaned them really well. Now, it won't start without the choke being on full and as soon as I give it gas, it dies. It sounds like it isn't getting enough gas. Any ideas of why? Thanks.

Pablo .......have you checked your tank for rust and chit ? Did you put in an inline
filter ?
Full choke start is fairly normal, but dying on throttle indicates once again there's
chit in there...........just thinking ya might have chit in the tank.
Might want to pull the tank off pull the petcock and check . .....my 2 c's

Yeah take your time with it ........follow the details on how to do it .
Tape off and protect your paint with plastic and whatever take cap and hardware
off too, do it on a bench remove petcock etc...... don't forget there's
your fuel gauge to think about too.
Remember not to get sealer where petcock screws in etc too.
Take your time and plan the whole thing in your head before jumping into it.
Really ... it should be a piece of cake .
Last thing ........ take pics ........it'll slow ya down and that'll stop ya ****en it up
