i just put the motor back together because i had to replace the counter shaft. now that the motor is back in the frame it idles fine but at high RPMs it is missing and has no power at all. i thought it was the timing but everything is exactly how the service manual says it should be. any help is appreciated

did you replace the CDI?

most commone problem would be the needle in the carb. They are bad about dropping. They will idle fine but have no power.

You could try a compression test and see if the gas is flowing past the rings>>?? Goodluck
