ok so to start i rebuilt the top end so i know this issue is the carb i have perfect compression, when i start my three wheeler i starts pretty easy without the choke because the choke cable is rusted and wont move so i removed the cable and just put the spring and plug back in it. i had a problem with the carb flooding and it wouldnt start so i changed the float valve and needle fixing that problem but now while i was trying to adjust the idle it takes off even with the idle screw all the way out i sprayed starter fluid and wd-40 around the manifold and i didnt hear and change in the way the engine was running so im assuming no air leaks and i have an airfilter on it but it a k&n not stock. im pretty stumped the only thing i can think to do is pull the carb back out for the 8th time and ajust the "tang" i think thats what its called the little metal tab on the float. the guy who i bought it from had a different valve needle from a lawnmower and drilled out the valve to fit it and bent the tang to fit that, i bought genuine yamaha parts to replace what that guy rigged up and thats the only thing i think it might be that i did wrong but is there anything elts i should check? and it has a champion spark plug i havent checked the gap on the plug but ill do that tomaro morning.
