Y would it perform well on the stand and not perform well on the ground.. I would think if it was a carb issue both ways would struggle

Ok thanks.. your so much help! I went to take off the bottom valve cover and wouldn't ya knoe.. I stripped one of the allen bolts rrrrr.. I tried using dremel and making it into a flat head... but that cheap arse alluminum on this pos wouldn't hold... should I judt cut the head of bolt off? It looks like the cover is not threaded and part of the bolt threads will stick out enough to grab.
