    I’m convinced it’s a rich running condition. I’m also going to drop the needle to its lowest position and check the main jet size. Who knows what someone else may have done to it. BTW the chips off the end of the power valves happened when it had its massive catastrophic failure. Previous owner confirmed that he put the valves from the blown up engine straight into the rebuilt engine.

    The other thing that makes me think it is too rich is it starts first kick from cold, like the choke is on. Probably stuck on, all the time.

    Not sure what carb you have but I’m thinking it’s a Mikuni if so unscrew the choke plunger and check there is a small rubber seal in the end of it maybe missing or damaged?
    Also check to make sure the power valve jet is in place, it’s in the float bowl down the tube on the side where the hose goes.

    Some more progress today. The o ring was missing from the choke plunger, so I put one in. While I had the carb off I lowered the needle as low at it will go, top groove. Reassembled, it’s better, but not perfect. The choke now seems to have an affect and at smallish throttle openings it pulls quite well. WOT still misses and surges and higher RPM. I reckon it’s still too rich. It’s rideable and goes sort of OK most of the time. I’m going to see about a new main jet, factory size. The one in it doesn’t have anything written on it.

    No, and sold it a couple of months ago. New owner re-jetted it (two sizes smaller on the main) and thought it was ok, a week later it seized again. He has since advertised it for sale.
