from what i can tell i think the carb is running fine. but when i took the carb off, i noticed some sort of throttle valve looking thing on the intake manifold, not attached to the carb. what the **** is that, i cant find it anywhere in the manuals. and it looks like it is stuck open, i see no rods or anything attached to it to make it open or close. when the weather perks up a bit im going to take the carb back off and take a closer lok. i just remembered when i took it off originally i noticed it then and it didnt seem right, but im going to take a closer look soon. the fuel lines seem to be fine, seem to be great for how old it is really. no trash or rust. and from what i can tell the carb is ok too. so im running VERY low on options here.
It's supposed to be open at all times. The only time it closes is during deceleration.
On my Nikki the fuel is 1/2 way up the window. Runs 7000rpm all day.
Didn't you say it runs fine with the choke on? Did you allow it to fully warm up?
The fuel cut solenoid should have power to it when the ignition is turned on.
If it does, try taking a jumper wire, with the engine off, unplug the fuel cut solenoid
and jumper it to the + terminal on the battery. You should hear a clicking noise
in the carb. If not, remove it and check for free movement if the needle.
If needle moves freely, then replace the solenoid.
I hope this helps...

ok well most of the emissions are removed, i think this shutter valve bullshit maybe one possibility, hell it acts like its only running on one rotor anyways, more like one and the other just isnt getting enough fuel. could be stuck closed? can i just remove it all?
