Yeah, but we do. I'd like to learn, standing on the shoulders of giants and all that.

ok so here is a new odd problem.

i just realized that one of the wires going to my bystarter is cut. so i took the one off my old 92 and put it on there. now it dont want to run right.

now i got it starting and running, but to keep it running i have to have the idle screw in all the way. even then it hardly idles.

mixture screw too rich?

maybe. i have tried turning it in and out about 2 turns, but i have not really tried backing it out anymore then two.

im have to play with it more, it runs greats, but it idles offal.

You tuned it around a junk bystarter.

if i unplug the bystarter, the bike works fine. if i plug it in, the idle is really weird.

Like I said you tuned the motor to work with a bad one and now you installed a good one.

i feel dumb saying this because i should know, but whats the bads of running a junk bystarter?

im at $0.27 and i believe both my 96 and my 92 bystarters are shoot. That or im to inpatient. Whats if i just throw on in there and dont plug it in. I know its not ok, but what will happen?

If you can get the bystarter back in, with enough parts present that it is in the extended (warmed up) position, and electrically unhooked, shouldn't cause any big problems. It's just a carb with no cold start aids.

Your hand on the airbox can give it choke, (or starter fluid). I know you'd automatically goose the throttle a bit if needed until it warms up. That would do ok here in the PNW.

bystarter is fine, i left it hooked up for a minute while i did something else and it is working.

so that makes me think that the idle jet it clogged. Time to take the carb back apart.

And it runs perfect.

amazing speed, me and my friend where out cruising around 40mph, i gunned it and left him in the dust. I mean, its no top end corsa 72. But for being what it is, it packs a punch.

i took it down the road, it was acting really weird, coming back it would hardly run. it died out maybe 200 feet from my house so i just pushed it home. It was another problem i would rather not talk about, but i will anyway. when i had the carb all apart, i cleaned everything put it on the bike and then tested the bystarter. Turns out i forgot to tighten the carb back up.
