List Of Problems!!!

[WheelieMan4]

Well I went riding today and I found a few problems and need some help...

- My letf headlight (looking at it) burned out on low, or facing down. But when you flip it up on high or whatever, it comes on...

- My engine is making a really really bad ticking/rattling noice, but it's not the valves...What could that be??

- AND...In any gear, when the throttle is past half way, it starts to pop, backfire, and decelerate, like it wants to kill...What could that be??

- ALSO...It feels like I have no power at all, and especially top end...I dont know what is going on??

Thanks to whoever helps me out...

blown head gasket?

as for your headlight there are 2 seprate filaments in a 2 beam bulb so to fix the low beam you would need to change that bulb. or of coarse you can just run high all the time

jetting, move the clip on your needle down one more notch from the top, also check for exhaust/intake leaks, make sure all boot to carb, and boot to head are secure, no power at wide open throttle but seems to be running find would mean a rich mainjet so you would want to go down a size or 2, and the popping at mid-throttle would mean a lean needle placement and or an exhaust leak, hope this helps

Engine noise could be timing chain and guides need replacing. Also check chain adjuster to make sure it's not broken.
