won't stay running

Just checked one of the cylinders with the throttle wide open and it is still 60ish... Now from what the manual stated with every kick the pressure is suppose to rise until it peaks and if it sticks then rises its a problem with the valves... Mine is doing that as well...

First, have you pulled the pipes and made sure some critter is not calling them home? Second, when you cleaned the carbs, did you keep the float bowls with the correct carb? The bowl with the brass BB goes to the left carb. Always make sure the choke tube gets hooked up correctly when you put them back on. As for your jets= if you are staying all stock you should be really close with what you have. Jetting is NOT a performance mod, it IS a tuning of your motor based on the amount of airflow going through it. It is affected by carbs,reeds, porting, pipes, intakes and filters, temperature, elevation, atmospheric pressure,and to some degree the compression and timing. Timing will affect it because timing affect how complete your burn is and depending on that you may need to adjust your jetting. Finally, if your compression tester had the check valve right at the end and the adapter thread fill the spark plug hole threads then you are probably pretty close and it is time for a top end.
