Okay, I am getting very frustrated. I ripped the bike apart once again, the head gasket was bad so I replaced it and got everything back together but now it starts when I am almost passing out from kicking it over but it starts. Idles really low and as soon as I touch the throttle it dies again. If the timing is off would that cause the problem I am having now? How far off does the timing have to be for the bike not to start or at least not to stay running? Or is it more likely that the timing chain is off by a cog or would it even start then at all? Any help would be great becaus eI am almost ready to set it on fire I am getting that frustrated.
