Thanks,no I don't have the stock carb,I have the honda gx390 13hp carb.Well,I would get the idle screw first and if you still have trouble,clean the carb.I work on all kinds of motors and the best cleaner is ACDelco at your nearest GM parts dealer.Its called CLEENS and the part number is 1 #993026 just remove any rubber on the carb and let it soak overnight outside(strong smell so it needs to be ventilated)I have 3 other motocycles and I cleaned all my carbs with this stuff and it works! including my 4 carbs on my 4 cylinder motorbike.Good luck:thumbsup:
Turns out the factory had the throttle lever spring in the wrong hole on the governor arm. Put it where it should have been and it runs like a champ now and still governs properly. The motor is already blowing some pretty good blue smoke on start up, so its probably best to keep the RPM's sane and keep the governor.

Yeah,that tav makes a world of difference and yes,there's a tensioner on both sides.The tank is about 16" long 71/2" tall at the front and 81/2 wide.If your tank is shorter than 16" it would be better cause I had to grind off the seat clamp on the frame and fab a new one just because it was just a tad too long.I'm not sure the tunnel depth cause its on the bike now but you can probably get a more accurate measurement online.The tank is a 1995 harley sportster 883 that I have.(I lucked out and got a brand new one)Good luck.
Hmmm,The 2 tensioner is factory,my bike is brand new.I'm glad there's 2 because it makes it easier to align the chain from the tav to the back wheel,I only drove the bike 6 times before I stripped it down and changed the motor.I notice that my bike has a few things different from the earlier models like there's only 1 oil dipstick(the other is welded closed) and some other stuff I can't remember.As for the recoil,I've never had a problem with that yet,as you can see by my photo,I put the original recoil back on the new motor because I wanted the original red cover with the minibaja 196cc logo.
