I rode the 110 to the beer store after opening the fuel screw 1/4 turn, it now goes as well as ever and the plug is a toasty color.
I also rode the red 90 to the beer store to gas up. A s you may recall the 90s had me on the ropes. I replaced the muffler on the red 90 with a used ebay jobber along with a Yuasa batt, new throttle and front brake cable, new air filter, fresh oil, used tires and tubes, rinsed tank, new lines and filters and rebuilt the carb only once. The throttle action sucks major still and the bike idles too high or not at all but I still put a merciless 7 miles on it tonite. The 90 pulls just as hard as the 110 it seems, kind of rip if you ask me. All the lights work so I am nearly done with this one. I am leaving this one in rusty dusty barnfind condition and only doing what needs to be done to go, turn and stop. So Barney it is.
The yellow 90 got the carb looked into again to find the small jet reclogged after initial cleaning but made no difference. I saw a new chow-mix carb on ebay that has the high altitude knob and the square bowl, may try that one at 104$.
 

Good to hear you finally got your bikes running. And yeah the extra 6cc and 20 or so pounds of the CT110 put it near square in terms of performance with its 89cc brethren. The advantage of the 110 is its 12v system and CDI which if you're mechanically (and electrically) savvy isn't that big of a deal. I personally don't mind the points system at all.

Might I ask what carb is currently on the bike? And when you say throttle action sucks do you mean the motors slow to respond when you roll on the throttle or that it doesn't snap back when you let off of it? If the later that's pretty much every trail 90 I know of (mines like that despite extensive cleaning and lubricating of the cable and throttle mechanism).

Oh, and btw I love that you referred to leaving your bike in its 'as found' condition as Barney. Makes me feel validated in my 'function first, form if I get around to it' philosophy. image
