08 with around 30k miles. Did a valve shim job using Vex's thread on the subject as a guide. Bike started to my surprise albeit not running really super-duper but it did run. Long story short, I went for a ride days later and it made it 1/4 mile before it died. Have since put a clean carb from an 09 on the bike and still nothing. It's getting spark and puffs of smoke come out the pipe. Is there something I may be missing? Next step for me would be taking the valve cover off and rechecking everything. Any ideas?
