Followed the advice from above and put the #95 jet that came with the carb and bike started right up, let it warm up, adjusted the idle and runs nice right at 1200rpm`s. I left the clip in the middle grove though. It might actually be running a little rich but want to ride it for a bit before I make anymore adjustments. Thanks a lot for your help from everyone. (My question now is, why do people put bigger jets in and run great and mine wouldn't run at all with a larger jet?)
