Default hey nuts,ruthless and everybody that helped

i just got home from the hospital with my girlfriend after a 10 day stay and i have been thinking about my bogging problem the whole time and i was looking on ebay for a carb because we thought that might be my problem but i still havent tried the bigger jet that i bought i tried jetting it smaller with same problem so i was going to jet it fatter and see what that done but while i was on ebay i seen a ground strap that was listed for a 77-84 odyssey 250. my odyssey had a idiot of a owner before me that cut and spliced every freakin wire in the wiring harness so i built a completly new wiring harness from scratch using the factory honda wiring diagram so when i seen the ground strap on ebay i looked at the wiring diagram and it didnt show it so could this be my problem? oh yea by the way im not completly ignorant about wiring or wrenching i have built several show winning hot rods and i know that most of the time if you have a elec problem its usually a ground problem. thanks guys for your input

Were you in the hospital or her? If it was her, you better not let her know that all you thought about was offroading! LOL

Boy am I tired I thoguht you had figured it out. Doh!

A good ground strap is important. Yamaha had a hell of a time with its late 80's sleds that was cured by simply adding a good ground strap.
