Hey everyone! So....I've had some time to work on this bike with little luck. The cable in question was in fact the Throttle/Oil Pump cable that I replaced with a new one. Fuel and oil tanks were drained, cleaned and new oil and fuel put in. Changed the trans oil too. Cleaned the carb. Removed the oil pump and blew out the old oil and primed in new oil, however, putting a cordless drill to the oil pump didn't seem to pump any oil so I'm not sure if it's faulty and if there's a way to rebuild it. Replaced the spark plug and new plug connector. Also, blew out and cleaned the exhaust. Lastly, adjusted timing gap and cleaned the ignition coil contacts. I know I have good compression, fuel and spark.
So here's the result. It started and ran for about 15 seconds...got it to run for about 30 secs then it just dies. Wait a few minutes and it starts and dies again. I can't figure out what's goin on. When it does start for that short amount of time, I'm at half to full throttle as it won't run at idle. Carb idle was adjusted to 1.5 turns out as the manual states (yes, I have the manual believe it or not). Anyone have any ideas as to what's goin on? Any help would be great as I'm debating on whether or not to spend any more time on this thing.
