Just after cleaning the 2 jets, I buttoned it up, it started and ran perfect. Such a good feeling when you finally understand what works. I saved you the stupid part of teardown, and just showed where your poor starting issues are. The bike went out and hit 32 mph again, without spending more than the cost of a fuel pump and filter. As a note, I also checked valve lash, which was perfect, and checked the normal issues. In the end it’s always 1- got fuel, 2- got spark? Then progress further, in my case it’s fuel on a very micro level. The fuel passage is shockingly small at .014” diameter in those jets!
Fishing leader wire comes in all kinds of diameters. I use it frequently in clearing jets. Pipe cleaners as well. Motion pro of course has a more expensive set but if you work on bikes it may be worth it.

I used a bread tie with the paper taken off
Hell yeah, i did too
It’s running perfect all summer now. Those jets are less than a .015 drill bit, maybe .014”
It scoots to 40 mph now, and starts perfect!
