Ehhh, well I personally would get myself a good quality compression tester and test it. I'm not a huge fan of shoving new piston and rings in what could very well be a very tired bore. If you have any other mods and any other things you've recently done to it I would list these off as well so that these guys can better help you. Many knowledgeable people around here, much more so than I.

Does it still have the TORS boxes on top of carbs and is everything for it still plugged in? It kind of sounds like that might be malfunctioning, pretty common. New crank seals, did you do a leak down test after? Start on spray? What kind of spray? Hopefully not starting fluid, just an awful idea with a 2 stroke. And, is it a set of new cylinders or is it old cylinders @ stock bore and just throwing a set of piston and rings at it?

If it's not set up to run race fuel DO NOT use it... I ran Benol in my stock stroke stock crank ported motor, no issues.

JFC, I thought I've seen it all!! W.T.F. Smokin' deal right here!! SMFH https://albany.craigslist.org/snw/6087355399.html

Another gem... WTFF, looks like a shop even. SMH.. https://albany.craigslist.org/snw/6030052301.html

As mentioned press the axle out, or just cut the carrier off. Where's your existing carrier? Why did you need to use the set up you got for free? Get fresh bearings and seals for whatever you use, they're super cheap. If you don't have the existing carrier to use, ask on here I'm sure someone will sell you one for cheap. And FFS if you can't remove the carrier from the axle, and things aren't functioning as they should you definitely don't try and bolt it up, I'm not sure there's any bigger sign that there is or going to be an issue somewhere... LOL Personally, I would save up and as Zilla said buy new shit but that's just me. I prefer not to work with junk these days..

Look in the "Technical Info" forum, it was there...

No offense but holy shit, have you ever taken that cover off? When it was down for the rebuild you probably should've lubed everything up too! Whatever is going on there, replace all of those parts in that pic, they're all pretty cheap, or better yet get a whole new thumb throttle. I wouldn't even ride a quad with the inside of a thumb throttle, including the cable looking like that.

Oh shit, only $4500, is that all? http://nwct.craigslist.org/snw/5932794358.html ...And another... http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/snw/5924560163.html

^^That! Mine made no where near 90hp but I did have all the bolt ons + porting, one of the first things I did during my build was buy a brand new shift shaft and sent my shift star out to be modded, both were for the most part pretty damn cheap. Shifted smooth under all conditions.

It's a straight up fuckin' abortion! Just awful...

Just buy a caliper you can find them for fairly cheap, I'm sure someone on here has one they'll sell you, possibly even just that bracket. With that being said, does the caliper float freely on that bracket? It should slide back and forth a bit, if not pull it apart clean and grease it up and see if that helps. Maybe the caliper piston is hanging up, caliper rebuild kits are cheap too. As cheap as a caliper can be had for I'd probably just buy another one, never hurts to have some spare parts lying around anyway.

If you happened to take the carbs apart make sure float bowls are on the right carbs, I had them switched up and it didn't start for shit. As already stated make sure choke tube is there, and make sure the slides are in with the half moon cut out facing towards the air box... I'm pretty sure at one time or another I over-looked all of these...

If you happen to be running the Alba arms, did you put the metal spacers/washers in the correct spots? They're supposed to affect exactly what you're describing, and according to their directions depending on where you put them determines steering sensitivity.
