Before you pull the carb out check to see if you vent hoses are causeing the issue. To do this just pull them off at the carb and see if the bike runs correctly. If they are the issue check to see if you ran one of them too close to the header after you rejetted(dont ask how I know to look for this)

If its not the vent hoses its probably dirt or a piece of metal blocking a jet. Take the carb out clean it and blow it out and reassemble. I had this issue once.

I doubt its your float but I could be wrong.

Cheers Jim

Well, I followed most of the suggestions I think. I did find a small piece of something when I took the carburetor apart. I know that I was worried about drilling too far when I drilled out the starter jet, so maybe it was from that.

I will get it all back together during the week, no hurry another week of rain forecast. I will let everyone know how it worked out. Thanks again.
