The problem i face is that i can engage my choke, but when i flip the switch to disengage it, the switch says it is off but the choke is really still on. the pictures show when i close it the choke turns off and the sled runs good. Still have a farting issue at the moment and that could be a carb and plug issue.

pretty common if its stored outside where moister can get to it.
need to remove carb rack, remove the screw that holds the carb lever on and clean and lube (anti size) the sholder screw that holds the choke lever in place. a small dap of lock tight on the threds and you should be good as new
 
That is a lot of work, im going to try to spray the shit out of it with wd40 or brake cleaner. I wanted to avoid touching the carbs to fix that...it is like a no no zone
 
pull the carbs and do it right. wd40 is a gay solution. the reason your sled sounds like a "fart" is that fart can you run. besides wd40 or brake kleen is not gonna get where you actually have to clean, copy?

I'll most likely do it, my bushings on my primary just went and just broke my recoil rope trying to pull it over. Getting some 1/4in paracord and a primary from a viper till i get some 8 dollar OEM bushings
