But it won't start!!!!
What have you checked? Did you check for spark? Make sure it has fuel in it and the fuel tap is turned on? You didn't leave anything in the airbox did ya? Don't laugh, it happens.

Heated up the air box with fan heater, worked a treat it was like jelly!
Finally got the forks back and everything put back together!
But it won't start!!!!
The bike looks great!!!
Did you powder coat the frame? That white won't be white for too long....

Light bulbs go bad quick. Mine failed during my last WV trip, noticed it half way through. Still has power, but the element broke. I'm waiting to see if I want to invest in the LED another forum member built.
Ninja edit: Where is the rod on your Lectron? My bike wouldn't start with the basic setting, so I can't tune it. If you can drop me a PM with your basic setting as a baseline I'd appreciate it.

Phil,
Start at 50mm from the bottom of the slide to the tip of the needle. That will have you close. I think mine settled at 50.25mm from memory. Singletrackers a little richer around 49.something mms.

Fuel is getting through, plug was wet and could smell it from exhaust! Tap is on I have a clear inline fuel filter. Anything in the air filter? What like next doors dog or something!
When you pulled the plug did you verify spark?
I once left a rag stuffed in the intake after a project like yours. I have since learned it's pretty common lol.

Hello all! I'm a first time Gas Gas owner but not a first time GG rider. I purchased a used '12 300 XC from Bandit9 and I am totally digging it. Ok here's what I've done it so far. I have jetted the carb by switching to a N3CJ needle and a 178 main jet. Much better I must say. Tons of usable power. Also I reinstalled the wire harness to run my headlight to start my practice for the upcoming Perry Mountain 24 Hour Challenge. Bandit9 removed the harness previously. That's about it, I would really like to some how install a quick realese seat on this bike. Something like a KTM comes with would be excellent. GoFasters has a kit for some Gassers but I haven't seen a kit for the 12's yet. Are am I wrong? I'm tired of creepin' on this forum and ready to to learn and participate!! Thanks guys and gals!

No spark at all so stripped it back to get to the suspect wires. It was a loose connection, put it back together and it started first kick! 
It was spot on and really crisp.
So thats the end of that project and yes it has been emotional
Now my first race, I'm booked in to do this one.

Choke lever assembly came in for my new Magura 167 master....very happy with the Magura, much better feel over the APJ.
Bought everything from SLM KTM Racing in Texas, Cody was extremely helpful tracking everything down and making sure it fit, before shipping it out to me. As this was the first lever assembly they have sold. Nothing to it really, new bracket and longer lever bolt. Does not use a different reservoir cover.
