I did the same thing - over and over, and then had my laptop next to me as I did the job.  I got the bik together yesterday and it fired up on the 3rd kick.  Still have the surging when I drop off the gas.  It's in my mid rang so I'm going to drop the piolit jet from a 60 to a 58 - 55.  I also found 2 small crack in my pipe, 1  at the 1st mount below the cylinder and the other just before the silicer.  Both can cause surging/poping (not pining).  So that will be next thing to get fixed asap.   :evil:

I asked John for permission to copy the topend rebuild to KXRiders.   He said yes.  He, like most of us, does not have alot of time right now.  Said he could send it to me in a way that is easy to add to the site.  I'll keep you guys posted.  For now the link fluffy posted  http://www.hallbergs.net/kx500/
