So I found a bad coil and a bad wire fixed that and now I can get it to work but I have to choke the motor as I take off until it finally planes out once it plains out and is at full speed it runs good but if you slow down it has no get up and go and have to choke it again until it planes out again and not constant choking just bumping it checked compression and cleaned carbs already and is slightly better but not much

Well, it still sounds like the idle circuit is dirty or mis-adjusted.

 

[crhm8]

How do you adjust it from what I can they’ll the only way I can see to adjust is to change jet sizes

 

[Chris1956]

You should probably make sure you have the correct idle jet. You are running at sea level? If you have the correct jet, go thru and clean the idle circuit again. Maybe you missed something?

I'd pull the carbs and do a complete clean and rebuild on them...sounds like it's running lean and even at speed could be still running a bit lean.

What were the results of compression test?

Does spark jump a gap of 7/16" on an air gap tester?

has anyone fooled with the linkage?
