This is out of my depth, but, if the seals are worn, once you get the engine running, it should stay running, starting would be the problem?

The test i'm talking about is when not starting(on the plug) It was not constant for me until dead. If you have spark now will it start?  
  Don't worry about the crank Just thinking outloud   ;)  my bike still runs I just can't go 100 miles an hour the way it is  ;D

Yeah, but the higher you go, the harder each small increase gets.

  Yep all looked to be on track than one thing after another.But the dieing thing and the play in the crank showed up around the same time, Once i really pushed it it got worse. So not going to push this one any further with out a new crank, bearings and seals. I think the rest is in line for a good show though.

  What im trying to say is it's intermitent so do not pull the plug when it's happening,just the cap and put another plug in to the end of the cap at that moment to guage your spark.
  If you have spark at that time then you need to test for fuel. Pull your airbox off and give it a shot of  fuel through your carb if it fires right up than you have a fuel issue. from there its vacuum or its blockage. as it seems you have all ready tested for air leaks. It's back to basics. Must have spark,fuel and air to run. If you are missing anyone of these it's no go

G'day batman, I am clutching at straws here, but, it may be worth a try. In remembering one of zombie's posts, he spoke of the cdi derestriction being a short, and in running in that rev range you risk burning out the cdi. If you are running your stock one with the rev limiter bridge in place, I wonder if it would be worth removing it for a test run, just to see what happens. I realise it may well be something else but as it costs no money it may be worth trying. If it doesn't change, at least you haven't spent any money and you can rule that out as a possible cause. as I said, it may not be it, but maybe worth a try, just thinking.

I was thinking of seeing how she runs at wot over a distance, if it is good, problem found, if not, no money spent and search goes on. I am just suspect about the cdi with this type derestriction. This must be frustrating for you being your only transport.
