OK, I rode it for 20 miles on Saturday morning, i put the sea foam in on Friday. I stalled once on saturday.

And i noticed i have a small hole in the bottom of the muffler, bout 1/8 round hole.

the drain hole? i think thats what your talking about. you might need to adjust your mixture screw

That little hole belongs there, it was made like that to drain water out of it.

If your bike is a 2000, and you ran it almost all the way to bone dry, I'll bet you've just sucked some nasty old bits into the carb. Next time you take it out, ride it about as far as you go in one direction for 30 minutes and then turn around. (Stay close to civilization just in case) If it was a bit of nasty, the seafoam or Berryman's will clear it up.

OK the bike is running good now but after I took off the gas tank and reinstalled it, some gas leaked onto the motor housing and I thought I washed it all off but now my housing has a gold tint to it because I guess some gas didn't get all the way cleaned and it burnt up on the housing. How do I get that stuff off and my bike shiny again.
