I'm gonna take the head off today and check on those reeds and see if I see anything wrong.

It's gotta be somethin easy.

Okay then its running the way it should concerning the choke. Great.. I really hope it is not as drastic as you say it might be. I wish I could send a video of it running or describe it better. It's got to be somethin menial and easy. I'm just over looking it.

I'm sorry. Haha. Just trying to fix it for a friend. I'll take an ohm reading of the coil and see what it is producing. If that's possible without a battery... I just don't even know where to begin on this bike tho. Sorry for the confusion. The Carb is rebuilt The gaskets look...

Thanks again for all the input. It's a mikuni Carb. The only thing I see stamped on the side is ISO.. The fiche you linked isn't the same. This one has only one float and the needle is positioned in a way where I don't think you can get it out. So I wondered if it can only run on...

Ok well with choke lever up, (plunger down) would be choke on then that means the bike only runs on choke and dies when I let out the choke..... I have tried with air filter element in and out. No real difference. All it is is a funnel shaped piece of plastic that has a sponge like material...

Oh and the choke on the Carb is different from what I'm used to. Thks choke has a brass plunger like thing that moves up and down inside the carbuerator. It is fitted on the top right next to the slide and needle. The bike will rev fine ( in idle ) when the plunger is inside and seated inside...

Well I've definitely never messed with any reeds. When you say barrel, do you mean like the intake? Where is it located on the engine? Vacuum leaks usually create an inconsistent idle, I've never known for a leak to actually cause power loss to this degree. The spark plug that was in it was...

Compression seems to be good. It's hard to kick start it. I've been looking EVERYWHERE for a manual but can't find one.. anyone got a link to a pdf file or anything ? When you say reeds do you mean "points"? If so I can't find those anywhere. Spark is good. It's getting plenty of gas going...

No heaps of smoke. It starts on first kick. Revs good. but not very quick. Can't just blip the throttle. It's slow to rev high but it returns back to idle pretty smoothly. Once you shift down, ( only one gear ) it doesn't shift down very smoothly. It knocks into gear like its still...

Got a Suzuki rm50 that revs and idles ok. But once shifted into drive there is no power. The bike barely moves under its own power. What the heck is going on here? There is two screws on side of Carb. I know one is an air mixture screw but what is the other one? Throttle screw? They are side...
