Of course the carbs were perfect! Ducatiman is a godsend. Talking to him really gave me some more knowledge and helped us narrow the issue down to the petcock.

This means, the bike runs! Like a cat in scalding water! I just rode the bike for about 45 minutes around town. For a little 250 it makes a great sound and pulls very hard. Relatively, from my perspective at least, this is my first bike and really the only one I've ever ridden, but it is so quick! It frightens.

Anyways, it was the petcock. I pulled it about 10-15 degrees towards the reserve side and it must've sealed up the diaphragm in there, this was all I had to do to fix the erratic problems. It still doesn't idle perfectly and I'm guessing it's because I just quick fixed it, I think it'll need a rebuild anyways so it'll work how it should.

Anyways, I'm ecstatic. Can't wait to ride it again later tonight after dinner and schoolwork.
