no , you warm the motor to operating temp ,then back the idle screw out until you obtain the slowest speed you can without the bike stalling, this allows you to hear the rpm change up and down. You then adjust the mix screw until you obtain the highest rpm (I'd start with the screw out about 1 1/4 turns ) .If the screw ends up between about 1 and 2 1/2 turns out your good . if it's less than 1 turn out your pilot jet may be to large, if more than 2 1/2 it may be to small. reset your idle speed screw when you finish to 1000+ rpm .

Ah ok it's all coming together. So today I pulled the carb, reset the needle to be in the spacer mod position (adjustable needle), checked that the jets are what I thought and I'm have 55pilot and 155 main. Played with the mix screw and noticed that with a very low idle set I can turn the mix screw out about 1/2 to 3/4 turns out and that's the best I get. Anymore than that is very poor low idle almost stalling and anything less it just does. I'll put the 52.5 in as soon as I get a chance try that. Thx again everyone. This has been a long learning experience

I'd test the bike with the needle change first , then ,I'd try the 52.5,( you'll have to retune the mix screw again.)

Reply #18 - 06/01/18 at 08:11:55 I rode the bike after the needle change and seems great, I stalled the 52.5 jest last night and set the mix (so I believe it's close as I can get) but haven't had a chance to ride it since.
