so i bought a 1973 tx650 on ebay like a dumbass for my first motorcycle unfortunately some people suck and sell things to you by lying and saying they work when they don't. The dude said it ran and drove just fine but when it got turned on it kicked over but defiantly did not go into 1st anyway what I did in order to try and fix it was change the clutch wire and it still just jerks into 1st then turns off stalls out.I also did valve adjustment, new battery, cleaned the carbs, new spark plugs.<--- i did that cause one big problem Im having is the engine misfires and is running too rich so the spark plugs come out oil fouled and black i did a compression test and the compression is A+ both cylinders bieng 170. I also did a wet test came out perfect as well. Im not sure what other test to run to see exactly whats going on with it but if someone would be able to help me out that would be tittsss. Ive looked through this forum and learned a lot from not knowing anything to knowing at least a little something. this site has helped a lot in terms of learning this bike and what it has to offer i figured it about my time to add some more stuff to the threads and maybe helped someone else having the same problem asa well as help my own problems thnkk u
