Thanks for the help guys, i'll give her a shot and see how it goes!!
As far as i know the decomp lever is used to as a releave valve for the cylinder lets out "built up pressure" makes it easier to kick over!!

Coted, i got a brand new rear caliper for my machine with new pads, e brake block off and all the goodies for $112 on Ebay, i'll try and find the link and send it to you. Nice caliper to!

I'll keep you guys posted on the quads progress
Cheers
Paul

This one man.
What do you need, the adjustment procedure or the specs? The plug gap is .6 to .7 mm or .024 to .028 in.

I'm pretty sure I have a handle on the procedure. Just needing the specs.

I'm kinda grasping at straws now. It was just rebuilt... 60 over and new valves n seats. Anyway, it runs good with plenty of torque. Not knowing the valve lash I just put them with a little play and rode it. The thing is it becomes nearly impossible to restart the thing once it warms up. The other day I had it running good, idling nice, so I would shut it off and in 1 kick it would run. I'd rev it up and hit the kill switch and it would fire right back up. So, I let it idle for a while and then lightly hit the throttle and it died instantly! It would not start the rest of the day. The next day I got it started for a while, but it died n wouldnt start. It seems to me I have to do a special "rain dance" to get it to run again (ie take the plug out n look at it and put it back in... Verify the gas is coming out the hose into the carb... turn around 3 times n scratch my head then kick it with the throttle open twice and then 2 more times with it closed and then it would start for a while,,, etc). I have spark. Its thin n blue, but turning 10.5:1 with my hand,,, thats about all I could expect. Carb is spotless. So, I thought I would set the valves where they're supposed to be n go from there. Any ideas?
