Yours is doing what mine was doing. Your bystarter is not sealed. Like noiseguy and others have said. If you set the screws to their initial setting per the manual it will idle fine if all things are working. Underline that ALL THINGS ARE WORKING. When it is idling fine then you can play with the sc...

Got it! Thanks for the clarrification

Didn't realize the wiring was different from an 85 to an 86. Otherwise they should just be plug and play, no need to splice. The wires are plugged in right by the oil pump area where the starter plug is under the rubber boot.

Search this forum and that will answer your question, other than a intake mod and pulley mod there is not much to make these go any faster without dropping some $.

You may have a short in the wire/connection causing a high amp draw at the light. This heats the bulb up and causes it to burn out. On my Yamaha Seca 400 (1982) the fuse connections were brittle and corroded and the fuses would heat up until they were boiling, the fuses eventually failed within hour...

You may still be running to rich. Fuel could be coming from the bystarter and therefore giving you crappy performance until you lean out the mixture by letting more air in.

Could also be a bad/clogged air filter and or clogged inlet tubes on the airbox.

You have a faulty oring on the bystarter and/or the bystarter is not fully extending to seal off the enriching circuit, so it is allowing excess full in (i.e. rich) You will not know if it is the carb without fixing the bystarter. My guess since with it in it was running rich the idle circuit is not...

Blue smoke = Metal Burning (my guess is the rings and jug) My guess is that you've exceeded the heat/friction with the 2 cycle oil/gas mix that it can handle at those speeds and the air cooling capacity of the design of the scooter and fins on the jug. It wasn't designed to go that fast sustained fo...

On full throttle with a little bit of a down hill run does anyone experience a momentary throttle down, almost like the engine is getting ahead of itself and causing a vacuum condition in the combustion chamber. Lasts for a split second, but makes the engine fall back a 1-2mph then it is normal agai...

Me thinks he may be a Canadian? Hey! Or have them one of them Candian models with the kmH on top of the mph, don't ya know!

Pushing north of 260 lbs 6'4", and it still cruises at 26 on the flats. 22-24 uphill and a massive 33+ on the down side. I am sure I will end up burning out the clutch having to try to get me going from a stop, but it beats spending like $3-4 round trip to work for gas alone per day, vs $0.80 o...

It's in this post go about 2/3rds down the page. You'll see it.

You have a bad oring on the bystarter. Replace the oring and it will idle fine. Check my post on testing the bystarter vacuum and if that works you know 100% its the oring on the bystarter. Main needle does nothing if the bike is at idle. Idle enriching circuit and the bystarter are the key to idle ...

As far as I know nothing. The parrts guy at the Honda dealer didn't know either other than one looked to have a newer part number. I ordered the one with the newer part number and they worked fine.

Maybe running a bit rich, otherwise it is within range.
