I checked it out with a mirror. I'll try to tilt the carb after loosening the clamps and removing the necessary hoses and then do as you said, remove the plug and adjust the screw. I hope it works. I hate to remove the carb again but if that's the cause I'll be happy.

Someone told me it could have a blown head gasket. What do you think? How would I check for that if it is a possibility?

A compression test would reveal a blown head gasket if everything else is in proper order.

What should the reading be? I guess it's time for a mechanic.

Not sure what the actual compression should be. Some one with more knowledge will be along shortly though.

You may be able to borrow a compression tester from a local auto parts store in your area. Some one who has done the test will walk you through the procedure. Actually quite easy.

Thanks, I think I'll see if Autozone will do it if I pull the plug. If not I'll see if one of my friends has one....stupid me, I looked in the manual and the reading should be standard=142-149psi and the limit should be 114psi. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's ok and no blown head gasket

low compression can be valves to tight check them before you pull the head

Thanks for the reply. I went to Autozone and they charge $40.00 to rent a compression tester. Won't be doing that. Went to a motorcycle service shop and it's $225.00 for a tune up...plus parts. Don't know if I'll be doing that either. I think I'll probably just keep riding it the way it is until the Fall season and wait until next Spring to do something. Maybe I'll go to the casino.
