Which needle did you actually replace?
The slide needle is the long needle that is in the slide which is accessed from the top of the carb. You might have removed it when you did the white spacer mod.
The float needle is in the bottom of the carb. You would have needed to remove the pin that holds the floats in place and float to replace it. That would solve the fuel overflow issue.
So you replaced the two jets in the bottom?
If so, you want to get back to stock sizes or whatever sizes came out.
Did you remove the two jets from the top of the carb?
If so, you should put the stock jets back in.
You should write down and confirm that you are using the proper size jets in each spot just in case someone changed it before you got there.
I would remove the white spacer mod until you get it running properly. You may or may not need it, but let's start by getting the bike operational. Make sure the slide is clean and the diaphragm is properly seated.
This is not a tuning issue so ignore the stupid low-speed adjustment. It wouldn't cause this issue by itself.
-------------------------------------------
So I do not know the condition of the bike before I bought it. I did replace the slide needle with the one that came in the kit. I was unable to replace the the replace the float needle cause the screw that holds it all together was badly corroded.
[b]In the bottom of the carb[b]
I only replaced the pilot jet. The main jet was not included in the rebuild kit.
[b]In the top of the carb[b]
I did replace the two to jets on the top with the ones that were included in the kit.
[b]What I did this afternoon[b]
I reverted back to the original two jets in the top of the carb and found that the smaller of the two was entirely different. I also switched back to the original slide needle and put the spacer back in.
The bike started right up and is running significantly better. Its still not perfect but its alot better.[/b][/b][/b][/b][/b][/b]
