i wonder what else could go wrong with this thing cray.gif . i went to take it out today to give it a good run b4 unadilla the gas was off and i forgot when i started it i let it get warm and then went to take it around the yard b4 i loaded it up an boom back fire and then it stalled and would not re-start. tried a roll start nothin so i let it sit for a bit, then tried it again with the choke on it fired up and ran but it looked like gas or oily gas was leaking out of the exhaust flange so then i tried to ride it again and it just stalled. so i took the carb off and found that the top cover seal was blown out, so then pulled the bowl off to clean it everything looked fine down there. so what do ya think did i F my carb up or will replacing that seal fix it tried a little rtv just to see if it helped but no luck it ran at idle but if you hit the gas dead??? valves just adjusted triple checked, new plug. what should i do just give up and get back on my 330r. unadilla's in 5 days i think ill bring both just in case

again thanks for any help

Pull the exhaust off and see if there is anything in there ... You may have just FLOODED it and what you saw coming out of the Flange (1. it should be tight enough that nothing CAN leak out) may have been Gas mixxed with carbon from the piston .... check and see if you can find out what it is ...

Im gonna say your Jetting may be off too if you can get it running with your choke but not with the throttle ...
i know but b4 this it ran great other than adjusting the valves nothing else was changed
