[QUOTE="_JOE_, post: 1320933, member: 77507"] Glad to hear you got it starting better. Chances are you're too rich now, though. You should have to use the choke to start a cold engine and the hotstart to start a hot engine. The throttle response will slower of idle. This is a pretty easy way to get the fuel screw in the ballpark, once you get it hot kill it and try to start it again. If you're too rich it will be a b@stard to start. The hot engine needs a lean mix to light off, hence the need for the hotstart. It should fire right up if you lean the pilot out a bit. As for the needle......There's a small cap with two allen screws on top of the carb. If you pull the tank and seat you should be able to get to it. On mine I have to twist the carb to clear the frame. Once the cover is there should be another allen screw down inside the carb. If you have someone hold throttle wide open it's easier to get to. Once that's out you can get at the needle. My bike came with a tool that I was baffled by, until I decided to try to pull the needle out. It is a piece of wire bent in a loop on one end with a little rubber tube on the other. You slide the tube over the top of the needle and pull it out. Otherwise a small pair of needle nose pliers would work. [/QUOTE]
