![]() ![]() I see you have all been have a good talk about my issue and then some of what should be done. Well here is a some what update: I have been riding the bike just the way it came in the box and yes I think the jets and the needle needs to be swapped out, if and or when that get here. It would seem my set had to take a trip around the US before passing my door (town) and go to the next town over then to be here the next day or so. ![]() ![]() As well I need to look into why the carburetor is now puking fuel out of the bowl overflow tube and/or drain tube. This is happening when the bike is running and shut off. So (my suspicion is the float has sunk and has a hole in it) however it could be trash in there or who knows at this point. && to make matters a little bit worse I hear a weird rattle/tinging noise when I start hitting over 3000-4000 RPMs but after that it goes away and the sound seems to be coming from inside the transmission case or lower end. yes I changed the original oil that came with it before starting to ride and I looked on the dipstick LVL is good and I do not see any silvery bits and the oil is not shiny but I will be draining it replacing it with a thicker oil like 10w40 due to I'm running 10w30 seeing to as that is what I had at the time on hand. I will come back and update this post as time goes on and I get to work on the bike. up-to-date pic of the bike: https://imgur.com/a/4SO61xO ![]()

The float bowl drain screw is probably loose, or the o-ring on it is damaged. If tightening that float bowl drain doesn't fix the leak, take it out and inspect the o-ring.

I was thinking that just after I made my post because my brother thought it had something to do with the idle and I told him no it didn't. However I go out and turn the gas on with no leak go and ride for a bit no leak. ![]() ![]()
