That's both good to know and a bummer at the same time. Lol, I'll get her running smooth, ride her and possibly hack job some lights for her so I can at least be visible in the hood. Thanks for your help guys!
The quick-and-dirty option is to run total-loss lighting off a 14.4V rechargeable battery. You can find a 3AH cordless drill pack and a charger for around $50-60. I'm guessing that would run a 25W low beam plus an LED stop/tail light for about 90 minutes per charge. I'd just be sure to get a Ni-MH battery so you can reliably recharge it from a totally discharged state.

Anyway to trouble shoot the Bogging at WOT? I've adjusted the Air Fuel Mixture screw, put in a new spark Plug, new Oil. The only thing i can think of is that the spark plug wire needs replacement and or the points need adjustment. Thoughts?

Assuming since your not asking about jetting, you are below 6K' elevation. Also stock carb, stock filter and air box or filter housing, stock pipe and muffler too. If anything is other than stock, tuning or jetting your carb is in order.

Air fuel mix is probably your low speed setting and you need to raise the main needle jet by one slot on the cir-clip, that will enrich your fuel air mix in the 3/4 to full throttle range.
... or your floats are set too low and you're starving for fuel at wot?

Aw crap, not sure I can make a video of that for you but I bet there is one out there somewhere.

Challenge is to find one that is not completely boring and badly narrated by a hillbilly
