Finally fired up the new motor & I have a small problem with the Mikuni 22mm carb. It seems to run a bit fast, as in really fast at idle. Here's what it does at idle...
I changed the TAV springs to white ones (3100 engagement) & it's idling fast enough to spin the rear tire at idle. Should have had a youtube of the start-up when I cracked the throttle, would have had a lot of "likes" as it was happily digging the holes & churning up a lot of dust & gravel in the front yard. Fortunately, I hadn't started the dinner (chicken) yet on the grill, so dinner should still be OK. I did set the front tire against a porch post (steel post set in concrete, porch is still standing) when it finally fired & took off like a raped ape.
My question is how the heck do I adjust the idle a bit lower? The slide is mostly down now, but there's still enough air moving through the gap at the bottom to idle way too fast. I've backed the screw on the outboard side mostly out to lower the slide, but it's still letting way too much mixture into the motor at idle. I don't want to ride this thing until I have this problem solved. The good news is that it seems to pull really well now.
