Thank you, looking forward to seeing your build as well!

Tires are shinko 705, love them!

Nevermind, bought an ebay petcock for the Filter and a tourmax repair kit.

Any blue on there is just old paint :)

Oooh, you're right now that I take a second look. I see that there are new petcocks all the way from $ 25 to $ 65. I figured the cheaper ones were made in China so I specifically went for the petcock made in Japan. I took the old petcock apart but couldn't see anything wrong except the "dial" is hard to turn. My problem was getting gas filling up my oil sump. I'm not sure if the petcock was bad or the float bowl needle valves were worn or if I left the dial in the "Prime" position too long. I notice on my GR650 that those needle valves don't have a rubber/nylon tip. It is just metal on metal. I was going to take the airbox out but found a new made in Japan foam filter that stretches over the metal frame in the airbox. The old foam had long ago crumbled into dust and lay on the bottom of the airbox. So many projects.

I'm not too sure it could be a few things. It might be worth trying the fuel petcock, I've heard that a faulty one can cause too much fuel to flood the carbs and you end up with fuel in your oil as well so sounds like it could be your issue

@@Benji... Alright yeah I've been doing a bunch of reading and a lot of ppl are talking about that petcock, I've actually also replaced that before but if it's really just that, it's simple and cheap. I was worried my piston rings are going out because this issue makes it run like a 300cc I can barely stay over 50mph! Also when this issue started, white smoke would go thru the exhaust. I also hope I didn't flood it or something. It'll run but barely and just bleeds gas. Thank you for the reply!

Are you sure both cylinders are firing? If you’re not getting spark in one of them it would cause those problems

@@Benji... Oh really? I've had that before already, but it wasn't causing it to do this, of course I changed both and made sure they were torqued to spec. But yeah I'll check those later on when I get home, gotta do about 8hrs of driving today lol

My bike cranked over fine, just was leaking fuel. Sounds like you have a different issue

Sorry I don’t, if i remember right I ordered it through a local bike shop i think

it definitely helps otherwise those screws can strip very easliy

I ordered it through a local motorcycle shop

I was able to order them through a local motorcycle shop. I think it was just an all balls kit
