Well, ive narrowed it down to being an electrical problem, the points in the motor are worn, the condenser is fine, mag is fine, stator is fine but im thinkin its worn points, how would i go about adjusting it?

I cleaned the carb first thing, weve narrowed it down to a points-condenser problem. I have to pull the flywheel and check the points a stuff...I wish i could just get new parts. I have a better chance of meeting god, lol.

You mean new parts like these?

Never give up on new parts. There are always people restoring old vehicles. I managed to find every single part I needed, brand new, for a 1981 Honda ATC185S I am working on. There were times I turned to Canada, Japan, and the UK, but I found them....
