OK, I don't make a habit of having panicky posts, but this is what the deal is.
I had no mid-range power, lots of bogging. Bike was already running a bit rich though, so I carefully shaved just a touch off the white spacer. Re-assembled carb.
Rode to the gas station, bike sounded like it was running out of gas. Filled up. Ran like crap all the way home(less than a half-mile).
Ripped apart, checked to make sure I had sealed the diaphagm properly. Maybe so, maybe not. I can assume that since it was popped free after removing the top of the carb that it wasn't.
Now Glenn won't start. Turn Turn Turn Bang Pop Die. OVERFLOW.
On a side note, I did remove the side stand switch but think that this in no way weighs in on this issue.
Eerie white whispy smoke comes from the tailpipe whenever attempting to start. That should help identify the issue, but I have no idea what it means. Glenn is speaking in code to me today.
Things I've tried:
1. Idle air adjustment. 2. Hotter/Colder/Same spark plug. Plug is nice and black, like I like it. 3. Re-sealing the vacuum lines for the petc0ck. 4. Adjusting the float. 5. Cleaning the slide.
Notes: 1. Petc0ck is Off/on/reserve. 2. Tank is full, LOL. 3. Plugs aren't fouled. 4. Petc0ck vacuum lines are sealed up like my girlfriend in 11th grade. (Not girlfriend for long.) 5. Petc0ck vacuum line WANTS to leak. But is sealed. 6. Overflow comes from vent tubes. 7. Overflow comes by turning petc0ck on and turning throttle, waiting. 8. Float needle is clean, not sticking.
Theories anyone?
