Yes. Removing the carb is not that much work, but getting it back in can be a wrestling match. Warming up the rubber with a blow dryer on low is a good idea.
If you take it off, you might want to have jets to swap out, and shim the needle a mm or so. https://www.chinariders.net/showpost...3&postcount=25 Needle shim is described in post #5 https://www.chinariders.net/showpost...79&postcount=5

Well, the elevation for where I picked up the bike from is 1300 feet, and the elevation for where I have the bike now is 4000 feet. Honestly I'm not sure how many issues elevation will cause. Is that enough of a change to rejet the carb? Is that why it has problems keeping the idle? Also, happy thanksgiving!

Your 4000+ altitude will reduce the effect of the typical lean jetting these bikes get from the factory. You still may need a needle shim, and there is variability in the whole package, so you may really need to go to a 42 pilot and a 120 main jet. Maybe the best thing to do is just give it a try as is! ![]()

Just wanted to share an update! I got it started and idling! Had some help, and didn't do anything major, just adjusting the fuel screw. Sounds like it runs perfect, the pops went away after the engine warmed up. I even took it for a short ride! Still lots to learn but I managed to get out of neutral and into first without stalling it haha. Thanks everyone!!
