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.

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.

Its seems like it just needs some tuning. Your advice is appreciated. Suzukisavvy - 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)

His tinkering time cost money, your tinkering time is free. more than likely, you need a new float valve.
