The machine seems to run ok, still have to tune up the settings on the carb as it seems to idle high, then if you leave it drop down after a second.

The mikuni made an amazing difference with starting though, the machine barely turns over.
Glad to hear that the Mikuni is an improvement, and that you found the leak source. If it still doesn't return to idle immediately, perhaps it's time for a new intake tube.
