Re:Virago Issues 3 Years, 9 Months ago

I've gone through the carbs and blown out the jets, at first i thought it probably was a fueling issue, but I can't seem to find any problems there, originally I had a stuck float, but that was one of the first things I fixed. I haven't done a compression test either since I don't have a tester, something that might be worth doing. Part of the reason I wonder about valves, in going through some other isses I went to put a bit of oil in the top of the cylinder, and accidentally poured way too much in. When I crankd it over all that oil went out the front exhaust valve. Stupid i know.
