Even after turning the idle mixture screw wayy out, the bike still has a hard time idling. Even after warming it up for a decent amount of time, the bike will just die. Also, if it is idling, and I give it any throttle it will also just die. I'm afraid that this means I will have to take out the carb and see what the heck is going on in there. Also, I want to replace the stock spark plug, hopefully that might help a bit as well. I'm kind of lost at this point, and I would really appreciate anyone who could give me some in-depth advice for getting this bike running well. I will give you any other details you need to make a better assessment. Also, is it normal for me to have to warm it up in ~50F weather by putting the choke on and giving it throttle for a decent bit? I really appreciate everyone's help so far, I really want to be able to get this bike in good working order if possible. Thanks in advance!
Did you ever check the valve gaps? I know mine were tight and had no gap. I notice mine started a little easier.
