Also Seen a bunch of corrosion on the bottom of the batter box due to the acid leaking. here's a video of the bike running. Does the hiccuping happen to you guys. It's partly why i cant keep it running. http://youtu.be/eheOaHZgfiA
CRELOW Thats the same exact backfire I had. Caused by a bad air fuel mix and then an explosion of un burned gas that stops the crank/ it isn't too healthy for the engine when it explodes during exhaust cycle and stops the bike. Does it go away after its warmed up good? is your plug black and fouled/ bad spark could cause this. Unburned gas is exploding... from too lean ( too much air) or too rich ( too much fuel) either condition can cause backfiring thru carb. many web sites to help tune this pumper carb. But some trial and error is seldom avoided. Once you get it right it will run as smooth as silk

Warm the bike
Air fuel Mix screw adjust use a 1 inch long screw driver flat blade end from an interchangeable screw driver. start with the air fuel mixture screw on the side of the carb facing the engine.

Idle screw tweak( your idle sounded way high unless you were working the throttle
New gaped NGK plug

Lastly
Make sure idle jet isnt clogged
Valves could be out of adjustment
If you cant get it tuned, get help!
