Happy for you man! Be sure you up jet the carburetor if you don't run the stock (original honda) airbox. Reading the spark plug for correct color may help if you don't have a temperature gauge. Too lean, and it goes boom!

thanks for the advice, what jet size do you reccomend for stock carb witha pod filter?

If the carburetor is original, you should have a #88 in there if I remember correctly. That's pretty healthy but the pod filter changes things. It is not allowing as much negative pressure as the stock filter, thereby giving a leaner mix. So a larger jet would compensate that. Might want to try to find some bigger jets for that particular carburetor first. I would just go back to the stock airbox if you have one but that's just me. If not, go online and do some reading, search "spark plug reading 101" or something like that . Then get some info to use before you start burning thru new spark plugs. Ask questions here on the forum, but do your own research, as you will learn more that way. Or, buy a temperature gauge and adjust according to that.
Good Luck!

i would put the stock boz back on but i used the stock tube that connects carb to box on the pod filter setup that fell off and got ran over lol, soo if anyone on here has one they would like to get rid of please contact me! thnks for your help

She's running great! Little by little I hope to be able to cruiz at 45 and be able to hit 50-55
