will that not just prove that the coil is ok (which i know it is cause its new)

you mean its not falling down far enough and its not flowing enough fuel to fill the bowl at full throttle? could be, but why would fitting a new coil improve things?
it moves freely with the bowl off - how can i check it in situ?
kaw rider:
I had a flywheel going south on me and installed a new spare flywheel and the spark got alot better. At that time i had a problem with motor down on power and it wasn't the ignition.

my 89 ran fine in 1 2 3 gear,in 4 when i gassed it all it did was bog down and blubber. i rode it into the garage and took the carb off starting with the top. i held the carb as level as i could so no gas would spill out. i loosined the screws holding the bowl on and when i broke the seal i had gas pour out. the bowl was filled to the top. i put the bowl aside held the float up with my finger and let it fall. i did this half a dozen times 2 times it didnt come down. check the rod in the needle valve, push in and make sure it comes out. check the rubber tip for a groove.replace if any question. good luck.buy a good repair manual. alot in there.
Grunty-Motor:
cheers - i never checked the bowl for overfilling but i have had a good inspection of te floats and the needle/spring when i set the float level. everything was good. wont do anyharm to double check though.
