thought?

when it cold it starts up, runs fairly well….then it starts running a little erradict and choppy. Then it either stops running while i’m going or when idling it dies out and won’t start again.

It was running like a champ before saturday…the only thing I did was change throttle grips and in that process I changed throttle cable (which is a little thick cable from a brake that i modded to fit inside throttle assembly – shop was out of one sided cables).

Fuel flow seams good, i only cleaned out the carb like 5 times! and the bowl fills up.

I’m thinking maybe coil/condenser….but would i need a flywheel puller for condenser (is there a way to check tension coil before buying a new one)?
