  1. Choke bowl on the left carb? Red arrow to "BB" that designates the choke bowl on most carbs
  2. The WD in WD-40 literally stands for water displacement. Not that I've ever used anything but premix oil, but that sounds like a better idea to prevent flash rust.
  3. If it has ran fine before with those carb specs, it could as simple as dirty air filters or oil soaked outerwears. (been there, done that)
  4. Drained and sitting dry (or just sitting) for extended periods of time is hard on seals. A 2 stroke depends on it's crank seals especially to run properly. VERY IMPORTANT. Other seals will only leak oil on the ground but bad crank seals will cost you an engine.
  5. That's odd, as an OEM will work hooked up either way. Good to know though.
  6. Blue goes to the voltage regulator, and black is ground probably for the taillight
  7. Don't rule that out as not being the problem then, might even count on it.
  8. No, you'd need 5 for it to have it. And it's green with a yellow stripe
  9. New OEM (original equipment manufacturer) coil?
  10. Do you have 4 or 5 wires there?
  11. If it's not that, try trimming back your spark plug wires a little to get fresh contact. Might also ohm test the spark plug caps (boots)
  12. Depending on the year, It could have a park brake rev limiter, although it usually comes on sooner than that. Look for a green/yellow wire at the CDI and cut it and tape it off.
  13. ^^That. The only things useful in a kit is the bowl gasket and 99.9% of the time re-use is no problem. And the needle valve and seat. Inspect your needle valve tip for any little bit of a wear ring. (you can get those separately)
  14. Ah, you know, the nursing school thing hits close to home for me.
  15. WTF? Those are the 2 most famous Texans that I could think of. That was meant as a compliment.
  16. I'm gonna say you just have to have a wire somewhere grounding out when it nosedives hitting the front brake. Check the orange wire on the coil for bare spots too.
  17. The sand is very forgiving and a great place to master the clutch.
  18. My daughter-in-law is in her second year of nursing school. The struggle is real. You and your wife deserve fun some time off, and this is it. I have the most deepest respect for anyone entering that field.
  19. Hotrod, you are in site 116. No charge. Happy Birthday to your wife the aspiring nurse.
  20. Canned tuna? Sorry dude, you'll need private sleeping quarters.
  21. OK, but I'm not cooking for you too. That would just make things weird.
  22. Crap, that leaves me to cook. And sleep alone.
