It's hard to help when you give no location.

What do you consider easy? 1 being very easy and 10 being a little tricky

It's hard to help when you give no location.

I live in Forestville Maryland about 10 minutes from washington DC

what tools do i need ?

One a scale of 1 to 10, I put doing carbs at about a 5. Doing valves, for me, is about a 7.

I'm not a mechanic but have done almost all the work on my bike myself. Of course, it can be really frustrating sometimes.

If you do a carb cleaning search, you'll find a ton of info on cleaning them specific to your bike. You don't need any exotic tools.

are the plugs oily? black? or wet? if there oily it might nee rings, or new pistons, can you do a compression check with or without the carbs on it doesnt matter
i would go with the new exhaust, and try it out , and re calibrate the carbs then

the plugs are a dry black not oily. had a compression test and its making good compression. dont have an exhaust leak . Do you think the dyna ignition will work.?

And I put them both at 3.

The ignition is helpful but it won't solve your problem. You need to go through the carbs. George is not known for his amazing work..

While a carb cleaning may be in order, I think you guys have missed the essential item here-WG set the carbs up for pods and a 4-1, Geronimo went to stock exhaust instead.

This requires rejetting the carbs as it's now too rich. What jet sizes were put in? If you don't know take the carbs off, pull out a jet and see what size it is

W-G set the carbs up for the stock set up,but he told me that i didn't need to re-jet if i wasn't racing. I just want this thing to run. I got good compression and everything else has been tended to ,just can't get it all to mesh properly . I'm even thinking about going to some racing flat slide carbs. The jets are biggger now.

I'm just getting a dry black soot on the plugs. The bike runs good for about a half hour then they foil out the plugs. the carbs have bigger jets,
