8/9/2016 8:34am I might take you up on the carb. All I'm trying to do at this point is get it running so I can sell it, so if you're interested let's talk. Thanks

8/3/2016 11:35am I might go to the local track/shop and see if someone has a loaner carb I can try. At least I could eliminate one more thing.

8/3/2016 11:03am Yeah, needle and seat are new, and I learned years ago to submerge the floats before assembling old carbs to make sure they weren't taking on fuel. This one floats well. I'll play with the float level some more and see how that goes. I love building these old bikes but this one has been a real pain, though I...

8/2/2016 8:08am I bought it blown up. They seized it and parked it and then I took it for next to nothing. Famous last words: "How bad could it be, right?" So yes, it was running to some extent. I found a pinhole in one of the rads so I suspect they just overheated it. Rebuilt the whole thing and here I...

8/2/2016 7:33am Thanks for the replies. I need to find a loaner carb to try, don't have an extra for that bike. I just don't understand how it could dump fuel if the needle seat is new and works fine on the bench. I even leaned it out quite a bit via float, needle and jet adjustments, no change. I understand orifice...

8/2/2016 6:47am I have a 1985 CR125 that I’ve completely rebuilt.

It will fire but once it starts it won’t rev...
