Wow does changing a few connections and fixing some wiring issues make all the difference! The bike runs AMAZING now. Got it to 35 no problem but I ran out of road and didn't want to attract to much attention seeing as I don't have a license to drive bikes and the bike itself doesn't have a license.

There is one problem though. When I first start the bike, it revs REALLY high until I put the choke and a lot of throttle a bit. The choke brings down the revs to an acceptable level. After a few times of doing this and making the engine die out from it, it starts and runs fine. I tested the compression and it went up to 140 Psi with no decrease. I also put some new gaskets in and can't find any leaks at all.

My suspicion is that the new petcock I ordered is crap. The thing drips out gas even in the off position. I think the pressure from gas always trying to get in (and actually filling the carb) really messes with it until the excess is burned.
