Advice to make my girl better

She needs a transmission oil change, but i have no idea what i should use. The 1-2 change of gears is quite jumpy so maybe some stiffer oil than normal?

Also I want to stifen the suspension without loosing ride hight. What are some good stiffer coils?

Found the problem. The ignition control box had apparently shit itself. Changed that out, and boom! Started and ran quite nicely. Turned it off to put things in spec.

Alas, after tightening everything it doesnt want to start again. If i crank it with the gas fully down, it will start after like 7 seconds, but if i stop pumping the gas it dies.

Pulling the choke does nothing / prevents it from starting.

When running, if i adjust the CO, it will idle for a minute, rev up on its own quite a lot and die.

I am at a loss here. Hoping that its just the carbs adjustments and dirty plugs (i cleaned them when it first died 2 days ago, but you never know)

Today when i was leaving to the store, my 245 had a hard time starting. After a while it started, I drove 30m, and it died. Got it running again, and decided to drive a bit longer to see if it just had a bad day again (it do that sometimes). Nope.

It died once, got it running by bump-starting it. Died again by slowly slowing down and I just could not get it running again.

Thankfully i carry all my tools with me so I tried the following: Removing and cleaning the sparkplugs, that were reaaaaally dark. Removed air filter to see if its just clogged up. Tried spraying some brake cleaner into the carb as starter fluid. Added some more fuel just to see if my fuel meter is lying to me. Checked the fuzes. Changed the fuel pump relay. Checked spark.

With the help of a kind man we tried to crank, with gas pedal fully pressed, and spraying brake cleaner into carb. Does. Not. Even. Try.

Any ideas anyone? Its a B200K with a solex sisac Z4 carb.

(note: fried noticed from a video i sent him that the carbs air intake plate (dont know the correct term) is open fully. Dont know if that matters)
