I am fixing up a couple of X1's and a Cag for christmas presents and have run into problems with the Cag.
Spark was poor, I put on a new plug and set the coil with a credit card - Spark was strong!
Carb bowl was not filling took of carb took it apart and cleaned the whole carb. Needle valve was out 6 turns which did not seem right but put it all back together with slot correctly facing needle valve.
Gas to to carb storng spark and the thing starts after few pulls and races and dies.
I work the needle valve in all the way and out in 1/2 turns. Idles at about 2 1/2 turns but dies on throttle. A little further out has lots of throttle but dies on idle.
Is the carb hosed because the needel was in perhaps 100s of times and out by prior owner to much or just shot? He gave up trying and I think it was plug and megneto and he may have screwd the carb.
Have I just not gotten it right after an hout of 1/4 turn adjusting?
Thanks
