[QUOTE="keithb7, post: 1118450, member: 58846"] Yea, I have tried a richer pilot jet. Here's a run down on what I have done and found: Started with various sizes of pilot jets. Float height is correct, needle and set are in good shape. I always run a clean air filter. I checked all the connections, and clamps. No air leaks. Removed and cleaned both the carb and the reed cage. Replaced reeds with a new boysen set. All new reed cage and intake manifold gaskets. Performed a complete top end overhaul with new gaskets. Compression was about 190. Decided to check out bottom end for air leaks. Replaced both the left and right side crank seals. Found the right side crank spacer to have a very deep groove cut in it from the crank seal. Replaced the spacer along with the seal. Still no luck, last ride out after the bike warms up it still does not want to idle. When cold, the choke keeps it running fine. After warm up, and I ride for a while then the ilde problem shows up like always. It's not a big deal, I don't leave the bike idling very long. Cranking up the idle is not the answer. Out on the trail too high idle is not something I prefer. It's more of just the principle. The darn thing should idle. It's stubborn and no matter what I try I still can't seem to find the problem.
