I've done everything I can thing of wit this carb with no luck.
Bike starts fine with the choke on and races to a high RPM.....as soon as you drop the choke, the bike dies. No matter what type of air or throttle screw adjustments I make seem to make much or a difference. The throttle screw when brought WAY out eventually just kills it.
The carb has been dip cleaned, the float boiled checked for holes and height measured 3 times, all of the jets and screws were replaced by Honda parts....the only non Honda part is the main needle, which came from a Keyster carb kit. I have tried moving it to different positions to no avail.
I am pretty new to these bikes and am learning a lot, but this issue is killing me, I don't know what else to do. I have had this bike now for almost a year and have made a lot of progress with the help of this board, but one of these days I would actually like to RIDE my bike.
Any help here is BEYOND appreciated.

[Send me the carb and let me look at it. I've returned many bad carbs that ran super when I worked on them. ...........lm
