Jetting!!! Again and again and again!
alexander-vmann:
the bike has been sitting a while with gas in the tank and the carburetor has been leeking gas too, could this affect the bikes jetting?

sounds like the float valve is worn and/or the float valve seat...I would try a new OEM float valve 1st, don't buy the aftermarket trash.
float valve...
alexander-vmann:
the float bowl gasket was in good shape but it appears two of the screws was under thigthend
Foxx4Beaver:
as long as it doesn't start leaking out the overflow tubes for no apparent reason, then you should be good to go.
alexander-vmann:
i asked my dad about the oil seal leak, he has seen alot of coolant and oil leak smoke in his time, and suggested that it would not smoke if i just let the bike warm up proberly. so i did, and gues what barley any smoke and the bike ran fine, not perfect i probably have some jetting to do, but for the first time since i bought the bike i was able to experience the true 500 two stroke power.(...was scary) ill still post the video of how the bike runs prior to proper warm up incase i have missed something https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfoSwTUixQA&feature=youtu.be
other then that, the thing is a BEAST i shall call him...Rudy!
