theres hope!!
I took my dad to pick his bike up (he was getting a tune up and what not) and decided to talk to the mechanics about my issues. they actually talked to me for a while and helped a lot. I got home determined to find the problem... I didn't really find it, but I got it to start!
I took the float bowl off and pulled out the float and needle to make sure everything was good. I put it all back carefully. I had a 130 jet in and decided to put the 120 in since it was open. I also had my slip on muffler on ( just shoved on, not bolted down or anything) checked all my hoses and whatnot. I tried it.. it didn't work but it almost did. so I couldn't give up. with a couple tries and a little love from the throttle I got her to start up!
im not sure what was wrong but something about the mixture of everything worked!

I did the needle mod and put a choke on (never had one on) new gas tank and petcock, and mine wont run either. Start and sounds shitty. The bike has been very reliable for me so im not mad at her yet. YET!!
