|  Sounds like dirt inside the pilot circuit on the carb. Try adjusting the air screww all the way in and then back out 1 1/4 turns. Also make sure you have the throttle cable adjusted properly with 1/8 of free play.

| i have cleaned the carb several times and adjusted it as well. i figured out today that if i pump the throttle 8 times it will start but still wont idle. i work with a guy that used to be a bike mechanic he said he would look at it for me. thanks for the info. |
