Well no video I find a gear oil puddle under the gearbox So the missing seals that All Balls re-sent didn't work.So pulled it all apart again and put the old seal back in and it doesn't leak!!! So much for trying to doing it right!
Then I reset the floats- idles all day perfect but as soon as you hit the throttle it bogs down. It even backfired/coughed once @ WOT-

Since I'm not a 2-stroke guy I'm

Pulled the carbs & found evidence of an intake leak on one of the carbs boot and also found a chaffed/crimped wire at the coil cover from the CDI input to the coil. I pulled the plugs to guess-ta-mate the jetting, plugs still look brand new with very little black on them. Pulled the jets (3) and of course no numbers.
So tomorrow I research the symptoms:
sluggish when warmed up-exhaust tone is muffled, coughs then runs perfect
fuel/air adjustment doesn't change much from 3/4 turns out to 3 turns
backfiring or spitting out the carbs (only heard it once)
starving for fuel (that's what it seems like)fuel pump is excluded- it shoots fuel about 3' when disconnected, also I can see constant fuel thru the 1/4" clear lines.
have to choke it or push pedal down on restart when warmed up
Anyone have a clue what's going on?
