Why does my motorcycle not start in cold weather?
The gasoline doesn’t entirely evaporate when it is mixed with air during cold temperatures and therefore combustion doesn’t occur correctly. Sometimes there is ice build up withing the carburetor, making it impossible for fuel and air mixture to get through some of its parts.

Why does my bike stop after 20 minutes?
My bike will run for about 20 minutes or so, then start losing power and missing and sputtering. Then it stops. I wait 2 minutes, and it runs again for another 20 or so minutes. It’s not the fuel valve (tried normal and Reserve), and it’s not the plugs or wires (runs fine when running).
What happens when you run a car for 20 minutes?
When you run it for 20 minutes you use up all the fuel. Then when it sits for two minutes the bowls fill up again. On each carb float bowl (on the right side) there is a little allen screw. When it dies, try loosening the one on the right carb. Place a bowl under the carb to catch the fuel.

Why is my motorcycle not accelerating at high speeds?
More firing is performed at higher speeds whereas slower speeds have less firing. The engine timing is the mechanism that controls this. If you have poor timing advance, spark plug firing becomes delayed and isn’t timed right which will cause your motorcycle to not accelerate properly. This will probably be accompanied with some backfiring.
