If all else fails ill send the carb back and find something else that will work I guess.
If you mean the needle clip is set in the bottom groove, that means maximum rich between 1/4 and 3/4 throttle. If it's doggy or whooly(exhaust sound) that might be the problem. I'm curious. Did you buy the carburetor, or did it come with the bike. If it came with the carb installed, it is entirely possible that the Previous Owner has gotten it totally out of tune. Just stay with us, and we will work it out together...ARH ..PS going to bed now. Be back in the morning.
