^ I'm interested if its cheap enough...
Well I put the carbs back together with the 147.5 jets and fired her up tonight. She started on the first turn and purred like a kitty, but It still won't rev up quite right. I can slowly twist the throttle and it will rev up just fine, but if you crack it, it will bog and almost stall. I don't know if that means its still running lean or what. Im going to dump the old ass gas out of it (dad says it smells old) tomorrow, and put some new plugs in it, just to get myself on a level playing field. I might have to order 150 jets for it.
I still have no idea what carburetors are, or how they work, so I don't know if syncing them or doing any of that other carburetor black magic would help fix this issue.
I've got a new rear brake line on order, the front brakes look okay and have fluid, but the lever goes right down the the handle, which freaks me out, so I might have to flush them.
