Winner winner, chicken dinner! And that’s why this forum is amazing! Went back to the 115 / 30 forth notch down, used the old slide cap, which by the way, was secured by red thread locker from the factory, WTH!



It was the darn idle screw! Had to back it out completely so the slide completely seated, then backed it out until I saw it start to rise just a little. She fired right up and is running smooth and strong now. No more lean / overheating condition.



And yes the Mikuni clone was sent with a 40 pilot. Got me.


As far as the choke spring goes, the choke lever on the new carb is different from the stock one, so I have no idea how that goes back into place, I fiddled with it for a while to no avail. I rigged a tiny bungee to the lever to create resistance to return the choke to open when the handlebar lever is opened back up. If anyone has a pic or diagram of how that spring is to be seated correctly I would greatly appreciate it, as my rig job is kinda hokey. Thank you guys for the help! Greatly appreciated.
