Re: carberator ??

This bike has been sitting for the months unused, right?

The smoke was white and not like a blueish color? White is just condensation burning off. It's water vapor and some weak carbon deposits. So no cause for alarm there. The internals have been sitting unlubricated though and it can take for time for the motor to wake itself up.

When doing your carb adjustments and rebuild, did you make sure that the center diaphragm was not pinched under the black top cover, where the needle and slide are? That's a common rebuild mistake. See if runs better on PRI....
