right i have gone all over the carbs cleaned them and put them back on the bike still have the same problem.

i went for a quick ride to see if it was any better and it feels like im ridding with the front brake on the hole time and it back fires and pops a lot.

i decided to have a look over the engine again and took the front HD lead off and run the bike it still runs funny. so placed it back on and took the back HD lead off. bike runs fine.

so my next step is to check the coil??? the black box that the hd lead gose into iv got a haynes manual so ill do it as it says. then also check the compression

what do you think ?

The bike runs fine with no rear HT lead? I doubt it!

Did you get the choke cables and plungers really free and clean?

Like the others have said, sticky choke cables and/or plungers will cause real running problems on the curvey, and the plungers only have to be cracked off their seats a fraction to cause it. I had this problem on my curvey when it was only a month or 2 old due to white crud at the end of the cable where it meets the plunger (I believe it was flux from cable manufacture).

Are the plunger springs in good condition? They can rust and break eventually.

Oil everything liberally when you reassemble them, especially running some oil into the cables. Make a small funnel out of a plastic bag corner held onto the end of the cable outer with a rubber band and leave it suspended with thin oil in it for a few hours (overnight etc) for the oil to work its way down.

If you get some spray grease and a spray nozzle off the WD or something you can pack the cable splitter with grease very easily

The rear coils are prone to failing on curvy's.
