I will try adjusting the idle mixture first, read how to do it somewhere on this site. Thanks to all for the replies. Will post results for those interested.

Am I missing something simple here?

My 2002 was traded with 15,000 miles, with the original filter. Always ran real good. You can blow out the filter to clean it.

I don't want to be a downer, but, any time you change AIR, or FUEL,
you need the right tools to put them together.

Guess work is just that.

About the 16 tooth sprocket...you have to pick the time and place for it to shine..
The original 15 will usually run wide open any time, but with the 16 you really have to play with the throttle all the time.

Thanks.

I think your answer is here.

Yes, will have to drill the plug, its still intact. From what i can tell that will require a removal of the carb, correct?

Yes,that is the easiest way,only takes about 20 minutes.Removal of the tank or air box is not required.When you drill the plug,go slow,just barely through the plug,than you can pull it out by threading a screw into the cap.(A good starting point for the idle screw is 2 1/2 turns out.)
