I got the wet air filter problem solved. Air idle mix was rich. Sorry cant really get a good pic right now with my cell phone right now I tried. I was turning it with needle nose pliers. Dont wanna tear it up anymore so now I am using a bit driver with some cardboard jamed in it. Works pretty good I can spin it with my fingers now. I did another idle plug chop. Still rich I think but better to be rich than lean right. I only have the screw maybe half a turn out. Heres a pic.

I did change my name. Figured im the one and only.

This is the plug after about an hour or two of riding. Still lean? Im at about 1.00 with the jet now.
Again cant get any good pics. The insulator is tan like coffee like what I have read its suposed to be.

  There is a cap over the needle with a spring to hold in place.(if it's the stock carb) With needle nose plyers grab,pudh and turn counter clockwise.  You can richen the needls a bit with a shim,but if not bogging off idle don't worry about it.
  A hair rich is o.k. How does it perform? Thats the most important part. You will have to play with your weights next to get the best out of it. I think 7.5g was a good match for your setup,you may have got some rollers with the pipe check it out.
  As long as the plug is not ash white or spotted you should be close keep an eye on things. You want to go as big as possible on the main without it sputtering (= too ritch)

Definitely bogging off idle. I grab the white peice off plastic inside the needle retainer and twist counter clockwise?

Performs great getting 45-46 mph on flat ground 50 -52 downhill "I weight about 250". Boggs when I ease the throttle in but takes off when I nail it.

 Yep you can make a shim out of a beer can one should do it .  May need to push down as you twist to get cap off. I think with some roller changes you will get another 5 mph out of it.
  You should be able to get a full turn out at least on the air idle mix,may help with your off idle performance. Keep in mind that screw only affects the idle for the most part, so any other tuneing will have to be done with the needle and main jet and air supply.
  Bog may also be caused by the cvt setup. I'm thinking with your over all weight you may want to go to a stiffer contra spring to get your rpms up a bit before it takes off.

So would I need to go lighter or heavier than what I have now. I don't even know what weight the ones that came with the pipe are. I guess I could weigh them.

I think I need a better air filter. I put a cheap one right on the carb.


  Bog may also be caused by the cvt setup. I'm thinking with your over all weight you may want to go to a stiffer contra spring to get your rpms up a bit before it takes off.

I think your right. The rpms jump up and it takes off after about 5-8ft of WOT. So I need stiffer clutch springs right? Also what about a torque spring?
