Hishman Isnt that Normal??? I just got mine to run yesterday after fighting these crappy carbs off & on starting in about april. The frustration would hit me and I'd let it sit & drive my little bike. Now that I had it running and drove it about a mile last night I thought I'd finish putting it back together. Started the first spin so feeling confident I reinstalled all of the lights and rechecked the wiring. Feeling proud of my accomplishment I went to start it and go for another little spin. CRAPPY thing is down to a thumper again. Runs on 1 hole pretty good but still just 1 friggen hole. Most likely preachin to the choir but get your self a gunk bucket (gallon bucket with carb cleaner & a small basket). And Proceed to poke prod blow scrub suck and a few other unnatural acts to get those carbs clean. One thing I did find out is those pilot jets seem to have been neglected on my carbs. It was almost like epoxy stuck in them. Good luck
