Good

Old age does things like this. I am surprised the bike ran last season with so much messed up in the carbs. St.

I'm equally surprised. It's weird how things like this will happen while just sitting. Thanks everyone for your help. Don't ask me what what I was thinking or saw but the idle mixture screw was right where it was supposed to be when I looked this morning LOL. Duh!

Seeing

Where's that danged tool? Oh, in my back pocket!
Where's that danged screw I just dropped? Oh, I'm sitting on it!
Beardog, bring that back here!

(I fess up to all of the above, more than once...)

 

[jsey]

It's up and running! Thanks again everyone for the advise

Just out of curiosity
