The revs just stay the same until they slowly reduce because of the execive deceleration and vibration of the engine. Thinks I know I can rule out:
- wheels
- chain (minimal surface rust but I keep it lubricated)
- chain guards (normal wear)
- battery/stator (bike runs at full electrical power when turned on)
- throttle cables (full range of motion with snap back)
- fuel (previously had water so I replaced it with new fuel)
- choke Cable (works like it’s supposed to)
- oil (lost a quart so I added it back, problem persisted)
- valve clearance adjustment (within spec)
- spark plugs (replaced)
- Fuel lines (replaced)
- tank fuel filter is clean
- Petcock (Works properly)
- Carburetor (completely cleaned but problem came back)
- ~>float height is correct
- ~>New gaskets and o rings
- ~>New float needle and seat
- ~>diaphragms are good
- ~>needles are good
- ~>Nice and tight seal between Airbox->Carbs->Engine
POSSIBLE CAUSES (?) signifies “I’m not sure”
- fuel delivery
- electrical?
- ~>CDI unit?
- ~>ignition Coils?
- ~>Other electrical parts?
- Engine (rebuilt a couple of weeks ago, got rid of carbon deposits.)(replaced all gasket)
- ~>Worn piston rings?
- ~>Worn piston rods?
- ~>Gearbox?
- ~>Clutch?
- ~>Broken Valve?
- ~>incorrect oil pressure?
- ~>oil filter?
- ~>other broken engine parts?

I appreciate the help, please any input would be fantastic. Obviously I know a thing or two about repairing bikes, which doesn’t mean I’m perfect. So if you can look over my findings so far and maybe see something I missed that would be great. My car is going to **** and winters coming so I want to refrain from driving my car as much as possible so I can make it through winter. I would like to get my baby back to health ASAP.
