86 YZ 125 bike ran fine first time it was rode by my father. Next day it would only run on choke.*
Replaced crank seals, plug, cleaned carb twice. With some carb adjusting I can get it to run off choke, but only if I'm whacking the throttle. Won't idle and bogs real bad off bottom. Starts first or second kick when warm with the choke on. So I don't think the top end is shot.*
I checked the reeds. A little gap in the corners. Like a 10 thousandth. Can that be enough to cause the issue? Don't feel like dumping $40 on reeds if it's not the issues.*
