Sounds like spark plug problems....maybe your running off of 3 cylinders. Replace all 4 plugs

after replacing the plugs does it run any better at all or is it just the same as before....does it still stall or does it just idle low?

when the choke is on it runs 4 grand and you can hear the tone isnt quite rite when you take the choke off it dies right away! what could that be it wasnt the plugs they were all fine but i still replaced them...

Is it an Idle problem maybe? maybe when you furred it out, you the idle got turned down or something.

i would ride it around with the choke on for a while (few minutes) then take choke off and see how it runs. This may seem like it does nothing but has worked for me a few times...worth a shot...

did all the plugs look exactly the same was there any difference at all...

check hose for leaks..

check tank for trash..

check filter..

(this was my problem) had carbs cleaned (by a friend) about two weeks later the main jet in cylinder 1 came loose and was just hangin out in the carbs. pull the bowls off and check for trash and anything loose.

cyclewerkz.com our sponser dynoed then went through the carbs and dynoed again for under $100.00

if it happened after you furred you problem messed something small up putting it back to gether ...
