On the p-dub 80, remember to pull the exhaust restrictor if it is still in place.

Also, while you've got the head off, check the exhaust port for carbon buildup. The little Yamaha autolubers tend to have problems with that.

so got the PW80 running today, runs mint even tho i kindof jimmy rigged the spark plug cap, only problem is it pours gas out of the overflow, so its either not seating right or the float is stuck, gonna fix that tomorrow, and no phone to take pics or vids with but will soon hopefully
