Needing choke on startup is pretty normal if it's cold.

It has always fired first or second kick no choke while cold so its just a change. The idle is really low so that doesn't help either. I like the bike to fire up no matter what basically because kick starting the bike on the side of the track sucks.

Probably running a bit rich before - not the end of the world but something to keep in mind as you tube

I am using the same 40 pilot jet that I was running in the smaller carb so I know I leaned it out on the bottom some. I tried to help that out with lower the needle clip. The honda needle also appears to have a different profile than the ebay carb but I didn't compare too closely.

So less of an issue?

I know when I had my idle adjusted low previously it was hard to start when warm. I raised it a bit and had no problems in recent memory hot or cold. I am mostly surprised everything worked considering there was no real plan beyond throw poo poo at the wall and see what sticks.

Completed another double header race weekend at Boxshop Speedway and there are only two more race days left in the season. I got there Friday and started running open practice. The Avon rear tire was very greasy and did not want to hook up. Eventually I low sided and my home made exhaust bracket became disconnected. So I went back to my area, I pulled the tire and swapped for my well used BT45.  The only pic I took all weekend I couldn't get the bead set correctly on that and when I tried to over pressure it to get it to pop, I blew a tube. I only had one spare and I /always/ pop tubes it seems. After a nerve racking installation I finally got it figured out. I went out on to the track but still things weren't right and the bead was still off. I took everything back apart and left it that way until saturday morning. Saturday's practice went well and during the afternoon heat and main I only crashed on the warm up laps. I ended up in 3rd overall in my race behind a KLX140 and a really done-up (and im pretty sure not-class-legal) XR100. Sunday was the same story without the warm up lap crash but I did low side in a corner and the person behind me nailed my bike and went for a ride. He got his bell rung hard but raced later after EMTs checked him out. Since nothing can ever, EVER, go correctly... Sunday during my GP50 Main race my bike starting bogging and dying like the choke was on or something. I got it off the track back to my pit and looked down only to find my floatbowl half off and gas just pouring out of my carb. I was missing 1 bolt and the other two were loose. I had about 10 minutes before the XR main race so I was in a pretty good panic. I managed to pull the carb off the very hot engine and around the very hot exhaust with minimal burning, tightened my two remaining screws, and hoped for the best. About the time I got it on the bike we had to roll out to the line and still someone had to give me a bump start.

I'm glad you didn't set yourself on fire.

I'm sad you didn't set yourself on fire a little bit.

I thought I had video from that race but apparently I got only the 3 seconds following me turning the camera on so it would have been a waste of a good burning

I wish I had the heat race from Saturday where I finished 2nd overall but I only took video Sunday. It was a double fun race because I crashed on the warm up lap going over the table top and landing on the rear tire of the DRZ.
