Carb clean abs rebuild help

@finnerz89 It's driven off a nylon cog directly from crankshaft. So yes and no. It is driven from both the throttle and crank.
@calum I could've worded that better, driven off the crank, controlled by the throttle. Either way a rich fuel/air mix won't really affect the amount of oil supplied by the pump will it?

@finnerz89 I think, in this instance, the fuel change is so little that it's not really the issue here.
The issue is that putting a washer behind the choke isn't fixing the problem, and I think we're all in agreement with this.

@Calum agreed but the oil might still be an issue as the choke is not driven off the throttle and is supplying some fuel without the throttle ie no oil well low oil relative to fuel and it probably won't keep enough flow in the mid-range so low oil plus low fuel I would be riding with caution unless I was confident I was getting enough might not be much difference but I suppose it depends on what you use your bike for

@declan I'm not digging mate I would probably do the same I mean I been running mine with twisted bottom yoke from were I came off, br10 plug no br9's at the time, buckled front wheel and a few things holding together with cable ties
and a few other bits and bobs just pointing out the risks of not fixing"Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone" Alan Watts

@terry-tz I've ran iridium plugs in mine with no issues, can't say I noticed a difference to standard though
@finnerz89 there ok just no reliable at all like you probably have your bike running sweet were as mines, not that sweet running and I restricted it which made it more oily so I mean if your all done tinkering there ok but for the extra price for the not so noticeable performance gain you might as well burn your money and set off early for everything in case you need to change a plug very slightly exaggerated
