I bought this pos last year, and it wasn't running right. noticed the carbs were leaking, so I replaced all the gaskets in it. still wasn't russing right so I checked the jets and half of them were plugged. I ended up waiting around for the kit to show up. I replaced a the exhaust because it was not the correct setup (put together by a hack). I start it this summer after I put the OE exhaust on and it still won't Idle down. I take the carbs out again and the slow jets are plugged. I just got them back in and the carbs are leaking again.

check the gaskets maybe you pinched one putting them back together? or the dissasembly a few times wore them out and you need a new set again

yeah I already ordered the gasket set. I think this is more like a rant. I know for sure I didn't pinch any. I always lube the orings and check the bowl gaskets before I put it together. It most likely was from taking them apart so many times
