while it is running in neutral try pulling the clutch a few times to get the fluid on the plates and see if that helps. Have you check the adjustment lately? Do the arrows line up with the clutch pulled?
yep... My cdi took a shit while I was warming it up. It ran for like 45 seconds and died. I replaced it with a GYTR and have not had a prob since. I thought it was the stator but I replaced it and still didnt run,,,
When I had my old setup it was basically the same thing but no shaved head and I had compression pistons I was running 350 jets and 30 pilots. I also have different needles.
this is the kit I bought.
I use the whole 2 quarts but it take between 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 quarts. once you add the oil start it up and let the oil move around or it will show like 1qt over full. when you check the level on the dipstick do not thread it in.
I have been running the Vito's power pistons for 5 years now. I have not even re ringed it. I have 135psi in both cylinders. The box for the pistons say Wisco right on them.
check your shift drum for wear. also check your forks for the pads to be worn out. or the pin on the drum side of the fork to be bent/worn. Does everything spin freely?
I would go with the 33's. The only thing you will have to do after the 4mm is change jets.
I am currently running stock carbs on my 4mm. But I have a set of 34's that I have to install.
Mine was the same way when I installed my 4mm. whats going on is the flat squares in the gears won't line up until they are turned in the right position.
You have no problem. Just first timer nerves.
pull the carb caps off. On the top of the slides there is a spring and a retainer. pull the spring up and remove the retainer and the cable will come out.
Jetting
you should jump 10-12 sizes on the mains (depending on pipes some take more some take less)
and 2 sizes on your pilot
This would be from stock..
Personally I would go get a jet kit with the needles.

Good luck
What I have experienced with my 4mm is that at wide open it will drain the carb bowls causing a lean condition. My suggestion would be to go to a larger carb setup. If you don't want to go too big get a set of Blaster carbs (28mm) they will fit into the banshee boots with a little lube and will provide you with more fuel for those hard rips.
Also I agree running out of fuel will shut down the engine not just one side.
That is a better downside than finding N on a hill climb or a race.
I think you are on the right road. Neutral on bottom is the way to go but that is my opinion.
