I think the carb is trashed. There are 2 idle jets (tiny) that are inside the carb and not accessible. There are instructions for redrilling the passages but it seems iffy and a lot of work + it still needs parts anyway. I can get a new, correct, non China made in France Gurtner carb for less than a bill so I think I will spring for it. The China carbs don't have the correct airbox for my model and I don't want to reuse old parts if I buy a new carb. My objective was to see if it ran before I spent money on it so I am satisfied.
Rode it a little in the back yard(tire was flat so I could not ride it on the street) was difficult since it won't idle and I had to take it off the stand with the engine racing.
Didn't help the flat rear tire much. Cleaned the bike with the power washer yesterday and it does not look too bad. So now waiting for parts.
