It ran great at first even though every piece of plastic was broke. Except had hard time pullin my 220# behind up these virginia hills. Then out blue while riding it died! I let off throttle and retwisted and it had life and died again. For 3 miles i twisted like i really didn want to push it and it made it home but my arm felt like it was gonna fall off. I have some knowledge of mechanics and conclusion to me was fuel/ carb. It was getting fuel. I drilled and removed rivits from bowl and cleand carb. Got it runnin today but still no where near right. Not sure after reading through here if its because i removed air box. When it acts like its gonna die i restrict air going in carb and it revs back up. Idle screw cranked all way in. Conclusion i think i might order a new carb.

Adjust the valves. They tighten with use.
Adjust the intake valve (top) to .004" and the bottom to .005".
