Take a flat head screwdriver to the pin on the float on the head of the pin and wedge it beteween the head and the the hole it goes through and push up it'll pop right out.

Good point. I'm fairly sure it's too far out then. I usually get it right to when it seems tight then back it out 2.5 ccw. I'll update after it give it a go this weekend.
Speak plug should be fine. I'm betting its just tuning of the carb at this point.

Spark [sic] plug should be fine.
Do you know with certainty that is the case? A simple spark plug test only takes minutes, but can reduce troubleshooting time by hours or even days.

Ill run a spark plug test but I am fairly sure its working just from the way it sounds when it turns over. Its seems like it just needs some tuning.
Your advice is appreciated.

I wish I could do that but the head is flattened down over the hole. There is no access to pry it out.

So I have had my bike back to the shop for a couple things I just couldn't do.
They got it running but I started having fuel come out of the bowl vent #2. Once that starts to happen the bike stutters and dies.
I have tapped the bowl area and drained the gas out of it and started fresh.
Other then that I am not sure what else to do.
The mechanic said I might need a new float assembly although it looked good when he had it apart.
Is is possible the float just needs adjustment to the proper height?
Thanks,
(this feels like a never ending saga)

replace is the standard reply for everything, and is probably cheaper for you in the long run. His tinkering time cost money, your tinkering time is free.
more than likely, you need a new float valve.
