@@VeryNiceSmileDental Ha- that was! I guess someone went ripping by on a loud scooter just as I started in with the screwdriver

@@pushrodfury6644 LOL! I assumed you added it when you used the screwdriver as a pry bar...

I'd love to see how you dial it in once placed back on. I am having problems with mine and think the rebuild kit is faulty. I also noticed you did not have any springs on your main jet and low speed jet screws.

@@JunkyardDadski great questions and a keen eye. My model doesn’t have a main jet adjustment, so no spring there. The low speed fuel adjuster spring was indeed missing. I ended up ordering a NOS spring and installed it.
I did end up replacing the intake manifold o-rings and used the adapter rings and band style seals to get a rock solid intake seal with no leaks.
The bike runs beautifully, I started with low speed at 1.5 turns out and currently at 1.25
Check out my latest IG to hear it running.
Let me know how things go!
