Hi

Just got this bike in. Been standing for 6 years has 20000 on the clock.

Got her home Cleaned carbs, checked float levels, jets etc. Cleaned tank & petcock.
Fresh oil, oil filter & air filter. Cleaned oil strainer.

Fired up on 3rd kick ran good. Couldnt take her out on the road - snow. Fired her up this weekend to find a bad flatspot when I hit the gas. Removed jets checked still the same flatspot.

Could it be valve clearances, if so what should they be set at & hot or cold.

Help

Craig
