well, I took the actual idle mix adjust screw plug out after work, yes the real one this time! yup, me=moron anyways.... took it out, and it can unscrew as much as I feel like, doesnt make much of a difference past 2.5 turns out (I screwed it in all the way first, as a point of begining) and then it idles nice and smooth and there is no backfiring. I also was now able to reduce the idle speed as well, to almost half what it was, is there any bad things with this or is it more of the "as long as it stays idling and running its cool" type of thing? it sounds much nicer now. also did the seat lift, with probably almost an inch of lift, and placed a couple sections of vinyl tubing underneath the old rubber blocks (3/4" OD, 1/2"ID) and it works nicely, very hard to get the rear mounts to line up though, had to push VERY hard to get the holes to line up, but I did. too cold to ride at that point and was dark anyways (my permit has a daylight restriction, and I'm gonna respect it) so I couldnt tell you if the idle mix screw mod helped or not, but thursday or friday I might have a better idea, tommorrow its supposed to snow again so..... one more question, after searching and reading about the white spacer mod I obviously want to do that and put a 152 main jet in there too, dont know if I will do a different muffler yet but maybe someday. How hard is it to pull off the carb and diasemble it? Now granted nobody on here will likely be confident in my mechanics skills after drilling the wrong friggen side of the carb..... but I figure if I only have wrenches and am not actually drilling or cutting I shouldnt have a big problem.... plus that little lesson taught me to be VERY carefull
