To everybody in PA help

im not sure if im running rich its smoking and 95 with high humdity i put a 240 main and it still smoked and didnt idle wats a pilot jet
 
You should be in the 290-330main if stock carb. Running rich is better than lean. I know ya have a few post on this, is your idle, the issue, 1/2 throttle, or Wide open?
 
ok i put the 300 and adjusted my idle screw higher so it idles fine now but it still smokes and when i ride it ill get 15 ft then it bogs down and wont start up
 
I just reread all your posts, seems like 300 main should be close for your application. Have you seen what clip your needle is on? I had a rich problem when I dropped it one notch- so I put it back on the third (or middle) clip, runs much better now. No bogging in first or second. You say it's smoking alot, have ya checked to see if you are loosing crankcase oil, like is it low?
 
ill check and how do i adust my needle

Ya have to remove the top of your carb and the needle will be sitting inside the slide, It will have a snap ring on it. should be able to slide it out.

btw i have a video on my phone of it runnig but how do i get it on this site

You have to put the vid on u-tube or another site then copy the url and paste in a post i think, never did it.
 
You should be able to pull the needle out and there should be a clip like a "C" and about four or five places to move that clip, Take a pic if ya can, this may be the problem-
 
Should look like this pic-

I can't give ya a step by step, i don't have the same setup as you, i'm running an aftermarket carb but once i removed the slide and took the spring assembly off mine it slid right out. BTW your pic is of an X. Ya have at add image code like
