Change your air filter and use less oil, Im sure your sucking oil through the airboot ..

Well the comp check shows about 140psi and that's with shoes on, so I could maybe get a lil more if I had my boots on. The filter was oiled with K&N oil, I don;t think its over oiled, but it could've been. On my Cr I washed it with gas and oiled it with wd 40 before, and ran nice! lol
I will dry it a lil, and see, I also just put in a new plug
I took it down the road, and noticed the rear tire had a nail in it and was low, that could be the missing power I am feeling from it on the top, luggu=ing a half flat tire through the sand, but the high idle, and back fires dtill get me. Oh well about to pull the carb and reeds to see what we got!

I used that k&n oil too with BAD results.
I will not use it again except for my k&n filter in my pick-up.
I`m with the others, what have you done since it ran good?
I use only air filter oil now when I service my filter.
That spray on k&n stuff does not work well on my foam filter.

That's a good point I didn't even think of, I have never used a foam filter before, so I could've went a lil heavy.
