Hi, you guys, and yes I've checked my clip at the needle,and the whole carb is way clean and all jets are clear,have great compression, my clip position is near middle,it did not change any power issues up or down a notch, my engine still just tries to climb like its only slowly getting gas. So again NO power yet.

Then as Skipper said, check fuel flow from tank to carb. Also, try to run it with the rubber sleeve off between the carb and the air filter. See if you gain any power.

Could sombody tell me what happens when the rubber seal on the carburator is to thin or not keeping the seal between the top part with the jets and stuff and the bowl which houses the float bowl and float,it shows ever so slightly a constant gas leak down the side of the carb wich is hard to see while driving. Would this let in a little too much air  And if at all --would it affect the throttle power of engine needing gas and correct amount of air, would this be why my engine keeps trying to climb and looses power?? |

Oh yea, I took off the air box and drove it and NO extra power.

It sounds like the floats are not set properly. This can cause a flooding (read loss of power) condition. Sounds like you are overflowing the bowl. Adjust your float and I bet your power problem is solved. |

lets say each day Ive ever ridden my M1, theres been too much gas in the bowl ,so even as I ride ----wouldn't it just go thru the carb and not cause me to bogg out????How and what position do I put the float .Its been up at flat level/horizontal with bowl and it started to die at 500 to 100 feet,so I changed it and doesnt die but doesnt give me any more power.Now I got it tilted hanging down in the bowl a little.

Basically, you measure from the base of the carb to the very top of the float without compressing the float needle. You make the adjustment by bending the tang found in the center of the float. For the stock carb its 7/16". Also, a good repair manual to have: www.repairmanual.com/catalog/M310-13 |

I still can't believe my M1 will not go fast er than 28mph now,and yet can't tell if its needing gas or needing air, or being flooded after all this information given, Why would it not be my TIMING ?? What exactly does timing do . Is there anyone who can tell me what is the function of ignition timing ? |

Timing is a term used to describe the setting of the exact moment that the coil fires the spark plug. It is ajusted by moving the plate at the end of the crank. This is not something you want to mess around with unless you buy a manual. Is your bike backfiring or are you having pre-detonation (valves pinging)? If not, stay away from your timing adjustments. Bogging or not being able to hold rpm's under load is typically an air/fuel problem.
Auggie, where are you located?

I think I still don't have power because of low compression---- If I run along side the bike while push starting like I do each day now, It will pop -start faster in 1st gear but very hard to push ,then 2nd is weaker so I would use a steep hill, after that it starts on its own,with a couple kicks and runs ,but weak as always.

Well, well, it seems all of you were wrong about my M1 not having any power.I told you it was Brand new-------so it couldnt be carb or air or fuel,cause everything was CLEAN NEW !!! It was the valves 80% WRONGLY adjusted . they were soooooo tight youcould not even get the gauge into it to measure them .When I loosened them up a bit -the thing took on third gear alot more ,and gave more hill climbing power. Now I can go 40 to 45 MPH in third, but just not yet enough to make 4th pick up where it should.Now, something with maybe the timing should finish it off to bring it to 55+ MPH, cause now that I know all gears are there,and still feel a compression loss to be corrected,I just bought a HONDA manual,to read up on and still don't know if timing is correct,but so thank you all for listening to my crazy anger,and bitching,now I can help others learn from the hell I've been thru!

Glad to hear you got 'er up to speed.
