[QUOTE="GreenFlash, post: 183158, member: 12506"] Hi! I'm brand new to the forum and am hoping to get a little help. I have a 1971 ct70HK0. I'm the original owner and the bike has been sitting for a great many years. Im re-working a lot on the bike, it's all original and actually in good shape. My problem is a leaky intake manifold. When I spray carb cleaner around the gaskets it definitely indicates a leak on both the carb and manifold gaskets. I have replaced the gaskets on both ends of the intake and the heat bushing as well. One of the bolts on the intake manifold was stripped. I re-tapped and installed new bolt. still leaks..... the engine does not idle smoothly or run smoothly at any power range. I cleaned the carb and replaced the gaskets with a kit ... still runs pretty bad. Seems to be lean. At this point I would appreciate any direction to proceed. New Carb kit with jets .... new manifold, etc... Thanks [/QUOTE]
