alright, heres an update. got it running and ran really good. was cutting out a little on the top-end, but im just thinking it is the carb my be clogged, but thats the least of my probs. my clutch was shot, so i put a new one in, rode for about 20 min and all of a sudden, it starts acting like the clutch is shot again. tore it down completely but everything looks good. fuck, just my luck u can take the clutch base (with the tranny in 1st gear) and turn it almost half way before it finally catches. so now ive got to figure out what tha fuck happened. think im going to go ahead and get a shift cam and go from there
