Whatever happened with the pilot jet and DragBikeMikes comments about making sure you have the correct jet type? It's concerning that it wouldn't stay tight. Also concerning about the Teflon tape. As it broke down from the fuel, it could have blocked off other small passages in the carb.

I can see the jet pivot side to side in the threads. I think this carb is done. and I'm confident that the carb is the source of all my headache.

You could try using JB weld on the threads of the jet,( maker claims it is not affected by gas). I would notch the screwdriver blade in the center allowing you to place a wire ( soft copper ) in the jet 's opening to keep it open as you install it ,removing it just a few minutes later . Not being able to remove the jet for cleaning or replacement isn't ideal,but what have you got to lose, besides the price of another carb ?

I've been doing this valve adjustment over and over but I'm not sure if I get it right. Once you have the white marker lined up with the notch you can can adjust the front and back valves (4 total valves) all together right? I don't have to turn it anymore for one side or the other right?
