Now i having trouble getting the clutch not to drag when you put it in gear oh well things were going to good i guess

Here is the way to adjust the clutch properly! Adjusting at the handle bars is only for cable play!
How to do proper adjustment- [Ya have to remove the cable from the clutch arm on the motor first!]
1. loosen the outer center nut on the pressure plate almost all the way off
2. hold the clutch lever (the part that the cable hooks onto in the motor) and gently push it towards the front of your bike to relieve the spring tension
3. Now with a small phillips turn the center shaft in which ever direction it takes to align the pointer marks up as you are applying a little pressure to lever shouldn't take many turns you will feel it move. [usually clockwise] (the point on the clutch shaft should point to this arrow on the case)
4. When it is aligned, let the lever go it will go off the arrow due to spring tension that's ok. Keep your screw driver on there and take your wrench 10mm and tighten the center nut down snug while holding the center rod tight so it doesn't move. (I used blue locktight on threads also)
5. Now take a socket and tighten it down good but becareful you dont overtighten it and snap it just a good snug tight is perfect. 5 ft lbs is what the manual says.
6. Put the cover back on, make sure your spring for the kick gear is in the hole when you do this or you'll be replacing some more parts down the road (experience talking here!).
7. attach the cable back up and adjust that just until you feel the springs on the pressure plate start to hit, then back off 1/8 turn and try that, ya may need to play with the adjustment on the handle bar lever as it warms up.
If you cannot reach any step a couple things to look at are, Missing ball bearing or two ball bearings accidentally put in, bad clutch lever shaft, incorrect number of plates or incorrect pressure plate placement (DOTS ALIGNED).
ok now i gues you guys are going to think in really stupid , but before you respond think >> the only stupid question is one not asked<<<< on the carb you have a knob one would assume is the choke , i cant figure wheather up is choked or down ?? took the carb off didnt see any butterfly like usual ?? all the fuel linkage is loose and i cant get the idle adjusted, i guess just slop in the cable??
Choke pulled up is on! Is this a stock carb with the big silver box on top of it? There is a screw adjustment on that box for the idle. Before ya even do that I'd check the float level and make sure that is right before any other adjustments are made. as the carb should be off anyhow due to the air leak test. the see what jets are inside the carb so you and us know where you stand. Stock is 230 main and pilot is 32.5. If the quad motor is all stock no aftermarket pipe/reeds/porting, this combo should be good. Let us know what ya come up with! And yes adjust the free play in the cable if it is not correct. I can't remember what the correct measurement is for that at this time.
