    my bike starts,runs,idles perfectly but will not rev!

    Yea, but mine still is doing it and I changed plugs. Sounds terrible when the throttle is cranked and has to be pumped to get it going and as the rpms increase it gets better. From1000rpm to 3000 I am pumping the throttle to get it going.
