so ahh ,ahh, well ahh, well any way i took my other carb i have and took the last 5 days off and on cleaning it . it was a mess looks like there was a mouse nest in it . it did clean up good though . so this morning i striped it down took it all apart , then took the carb off of the bike and started to strip it of all its parts so as to have the best of them both in one carb . so this is where i find .......I DIDNT HAVE THE PILOT JET IN THE CARB .... WHAT THE #@!!%&^*$#@$ KINDA @#$%@! IS THAT. so any way i found the pilot jet in the packaging from terry . yep still in its shrink wrap little package terry sends them in with all the other parts . put the carb back together low and be hold it runs much better with the pilot jet in it . idles pretty well road it around the yard a little , cold today 23 with snow on the ground im going to wait for a little warmer weather to put some more time into it . i only fest up so maybe future generations will learn from my experience ... thanks for all the suggestions they all helped keep me on track ....albert

Yer a good man Albert! There are only two kinds of mechanics - those who have made a mistake . . . and those who will. Welcome to the group I've been in for decades!
