    My bike would give up 2 and 3 once it got warm... There was a little bit of paint where the coil meets the frame and had some green corrosion barely visible on the connections from the coils to the CDI.. Acid brush and Isopropyl alcohol took care of it... then i scrubbed it with a wire brush just to make sure... bike runs good now

    try running your bike with your petcock all the way to the right..maybe it could be something with your vacuum line.. my bike ran like crap and quit when it warmed up and you let it cool it start back up and run good. when i run it all the way to the right runs fine

    ive thrown the towel in on this one!! Never been beaten before but this has me!. Put new set of good carbs on....ran sweet for 2 hours then wallop...cool down, off again...hour later and it does it again. Ive bought a tidy 600 complete bike, gonna strip everything out and transfer it.
