yamaha ytm carb markings say vm 24 it is a mikuni

i was on a ride for about a mile everything was going great got it home to park it and would not idle

it was 30 degs f today

i cleaned the carb a few weeks ago

changed the oil before my ride

gas is only a week old no ethanol

it will start but i have to hold the throttle

also if i take it for a drive it is not peppy like normal

im gonna mess with the mixture screws tomorrow

and clean the carb again it can not hurt

(update) it was the main mixture screw had to open the throttle for it to seat right but my idle is pretty high i would guess about 1.5xs what it should be but at least it does idle and no acceleration hesitation


update 2.0 i took the carb apart found the pilot jet in the bottom of the float bowl
