It take a real man to admit he got beat by a 300ex but I feel what you are going through. I once got beat at my county fair during the atv drag races because I forgot the turn my gas on. Sometimes I am such an idiot.

If the reeds are fine like you said then the only thing left to blame would be the carbs. That's just my guess. Have you yanked them out and pulled out the good 'ol toothbrush to scrub them up with? Maybe one of the jets has something stuck in it, or maybe the mixture is just bad.

While on the subject of toothbrushes, do you know that the toothbrush was actually invented in Shenandoah, PA? It's true! Because if it was invented anywhere else it would have been called a teethbrush :p

whoa PA first the math geek stuff now corny jokes. anyway brett is probably right about the carbs. try that. have you pulled the plugs and checks color??? try cleaning the carbs and put in a new set of plugs see of that helps. let us know. if thats not it then i'll try and think of other possibilites

oh yeah LT might think it takes a man to admit getting beat by a 300ex. i think it takes a mon to admit when he's beat. but it also takes a certin kind of man to leave out what he got beat by sometimes. don't tell to many people a 300ex beat you. oh yeah don't race any warrior i heard they are really fast j/k Big K sorry bout the nightmares i should have left the warrior part out. i know how you get scared

You could have a slightly bad head gasket on that cylinder which would let water in and mess stuff up. Watch and see if your water level is dropping at all or just tear the head off and see.
