It has overflowed before so I may need to check that. I would think that would cause more issues than just the loading up. But like I said before I am fairly new to all this so any suggestions are good ones.

I am also going to run a compression test to see if that may be the culprit.

The person I bought this bike from should be wrapped in the mouth for how he took care of this bike......The more I work on it the more I find wrong......

I live @ 1000' or so in the Upper Ohio River valley, near Pittsburgh PA.  The only way I could get my bike to idle was with a 52 pilot jet.  I think a 50 would be even better.  It started very easily the other day in sub freezing temps.  It's not too lean.

If I was looking for perfection, I'd try a 50.

Oh yeah, you're gonna LOVE cleaning Power Valves with that Castor 927 :wink:

Leaves carbon deposits that are hard as diamonds :lol:

Like I said I am a relative two smoker novice. Is there a premix you would recommend to make that job easier??
