Hello all.

I've got a honda xr70 engine w/ a tb 88 kit w/ racehead.



I know this is the chinese section but noone looks at the other forums.



Please bear w/ me.



I installed the motor is a z50. I got the motor in and had it running good.



I did however notice that the motor would die out after riding for 5 minutes or so.



I found the the problem to be the vented cap on the z50 tank. I would crack it and hear a vacuum. Crack the cap and restart and it was good to go.



The problem is now the bike will start but won't rev up. When I can keep it running, not for very long and sounds wrong, I open the throttle and it dies.



I've cleaned the carb 10 times aleast, checked for spark. I even took down the top end and checked the valves. Valve timing is good.



It starts and then dies. Sometimes it will run for a while, like sh$t though.



I'm in need of help. I've checked for intake leaks as well.



Any ideas?



I'm thinking stator or coil, but I've yet to have these parts fail on me so I'm just guessing.
 
Maybe the float level is incorrect? And the Trail Bikes stuff is made in China anyways so you're kinda in the right section. Try running it on reserve, maybe there's just enough of an obstruction in the fuel petcock on the main side that it is only letting enough fuel in to the carb after letting it sit for a while that it will run for a few minutes?? Just some ideas

Every time I've cleaned the carb there has been gas in the bowl.



No kinks in the line.



The motor ran fine, I drained the tank, messing w/ the vent on the gas cap, and now it won't run or will run at low rpms like doo doo.



This is really pissing me off.
