    It was only the 1 that was backwards. Changed it up, and seems to be ok. Had it running. Now to get the air/fuel mixture set.

    After some more tuning, it's as close to really good as I can get without a color tune. Now to order one again.

    color tune was useless for me, other than watching it spark. I had bunson blue 2 turns out to 4 +. what do yo do with that?

    Yes I did. Still need to order a new color tune, but that's another day.

    @Glen F. Plug chops are riding the bike at what ever speed, condition you normally ride at, hit the kill switch and pull in your clutch to coast to a safe stop. Then pull your spark plugs out and read the color, condition of them to check your carburetor settings, tune. The Old School method of checking your state of tune.
