Note the position of the ignition & pull it off with a puller (std jap puller only a few $)). The 3 indentations around the oil seal leak. Clean with meths or brake clean & fill with JB weld or some epoxy. Right now pull the carb slide out. I suspect there will be a groove wore in it in near closed position. Replacement mandatory if so. Sorry they aren’t cheap. Now look at the airbox & all the boots that they seal properly. May be best to take the box out, clean it up & check that the ring that seals the box near the filter seals properly, which they never do. Pull the reed block out & check the reeds. OK now you are ready to start fiddling with the airscrew & pilot jet. Until you do the above you are working with a variable airleak which can’t be tuned out, but they can be fixed & carburate(sp) real well. [/QUOTE]
