hey guys so i just got this 1983 yt175 and it wont idle and when you give it gas it bogs but then it will hit powerband, i took the carb off and the reeds, the reeds were shot so i ordered boyesons for it but i noticed the carburetor was missing a very important thing ! a pilot jet Lol so would this be my problem for the low range rpms bogging and not idling? does anyone know where else i can find a different head i have been searching for a long time and cant seem to find one its in pretty good shape its only missing rear mudlfaps and a few small things , 1 more thing i cleaned the air filter and all the passageways as it was sitting for a while and that was the first thing i did. thanks and i hope someone can help me out?

A missing pilot jet could definatley cause some low end issues. I would get a new one. Try JetsRus.com and try to get a genuine mikuni or Keihin, whatever your carb is. Why are you looking for a new head?
