1972 TS 185 low power?
 

Hi,

I have an old ts 185 that will start and run but just bogs down out of first gear and will barely pull me on a flat surface at that.

compression test is consistant 125-135 psi. I've cleaned the carb but no change.

Seems like it is flooding itself out. Any ideas

Sounds like the exhaust is clagged up. Come over here: Suzuki TS TC TM Forum • Portal for more specific help, and check out the Wiki section for exhaust clean-out instructions.

It could also be the exhaust port, I had a TS100 once that had about 3/4 of the port blocked with carbon so take a look at that as well.
