Thanks T-Mack, will do that test. While the carb was off again I did the spacer modification, and this time washed the diaphragm with some dish soap so it wouldn't be sticky anymore. After I re-assembled the carb for the second time, and put it back on, I changed the oil and filter, which was a good thing too!! Thanks to Reelthing!!! He explained about the oil seepage. I had indeed gas in my oil!! I think it happened when I was fiddling with the bike this morning, am I wishful thinking? I hope that having cleaned out the petcork's vacuum debris will have fixed the problem, but if it is the valve, I'll have gas in the oil again..... After changing the oil and filter I started her up, and she started right away, and strong!! Took her for a spin, and wonder over wonder she ran fantastic, even better then last time. She sped up and down smoothly, no jerking or irregular speeds, just plain fantastic, for about 15 minutes............................... then she stalled. I let her cool down at the store, did my grocery shopping and was able to start her back up again (took a few seconds, sounded like she had no gas). I made it home without stalling by keeping the throttle revving high, and held the clutch partially in when I had to slow down. Once I got home she died with a lot bang! No smoke though. I messed with the idle and pilot screw a while and got her running smoothly when idling. I'm gonna leave it till tomorrow, and try your test.
