blowerbike,

sorry i wasn't clear. what i was trying to say was that i cleaned the carbs and got it to idle on its own so that i could let it run a few min to see if the rings would free up any and regain conpression and cut out some blowby. and the blowby started to thin out and it did regain some compression. so once i get the breaks workin i'm going to take it out and ride it and see if it will go ahead and clear up. and also i fired it up lastnight to have a buddy listen to the noise it is makin and it seems to be diminishing also. so i think i'm headed in the right direction. sorry for the confussion
