Fiancee and I took the msf class together, and after a little while riding backseat, she picked up an 85 rebel 250. She hadn't driven a bike in a few months, so we were doing some parking lot practice for a bit, then I borrowed the bike for a few weeks while my 4 was down. When I put it away I noticed that two of the exhaust studs were goine and the po had strapped the pipe to the bike. I thought about drilling/ easy out ing the studs myself, but its an akward angle, I've never done it before and I have an anemic drill.
I kept meaning to get to it or take it somewhere and never did.
It got put up back in november and sat since, and this being my first year riding, I didn't get to the stabil, because I like to ignore problems and not deal with them.
Local rider who is starting up a shop is going to drill the studs for me, but I have to get the bike runnigns o I Can ride it to his shop. After some effort, some fresh gas and starting fluid I have the bike idling, but as soon as I roll on the throttle it dies. I can nurse it up some, but it's not ride-able.
What should I change next? I'm thinking I should look at plugs, but figured it won't hurt to annoy you guys for advice
