Cadman went to autozone and they had a lawn mower one similar to the picture you posted it just looked to big. It was 6 bucks. The one thing I do remember is that one night I left the Petcock on on and woke up in the middle of the night to put it back on stop.

Going to do a bit of running around but I will check that YouTube video and work on that today.

Thanks cadman

Hey cadman quick question. I have a friend who had a cb360 and have me there scrambler type exhaust. Do you think it'll fit on the 305. Don't know the skematics of the dimensions

Got the inline fuel filter ( thanks for the link) invested in a better battery waiting for it to ship.

No CB360 stuff will not work. Totally different bike.

Hey guys Katie here. Just wanted to update you guys on the bike. It is now running pulled the carb out for the 100th time and got it right this time. Also have to keep the charger on the batterie every night so it doesn't stall one ( any help with that or is it just a heavy electric eater. )

Also noticed that this website has electric ignition timings for my bike. Any thoughts on weither I should switch or not. Pics to come.

Thanks guys.

These bikes have a marginal charging system. If you ride around town at low RPM's the battery will not stay charged. Keep headlight off - use kick starter - keep your foot off the brake pedal when stopped.

If you have access to a voltmeter check the voltage at the battery with the engine running at about 3000 RPM. You need to see at least 13 VDC.
