Yes i changed the diaphram one of the first things i did
Today i had a friend ride it he is a mechanic he said that it feels like it
electrical problem he said cars will go into a limp home mode if it senses somthing is wrong. he seems to think my ignition moduaale may be doint the same thing. thats why it runs this way then once it sees everything is ok it runs normal not sure if that makes any sense being this bike is carberated

I was also thinking about the crankshaft sensor.

cool, glad to hear your up and running again! I would have expected different symtoms for a bad crank sensor, like intermitant stalling or something along those lines.
