Looks like your floats may have drifted a shade high.
How are hot starts ?
Either way, check the floats. Secondly, clean the carb (do both every 2 yr if ridden regularly, else more often)
Cool.

Thanks, will check floats. What diameter clear tube should I be looking for?
I'd like to avoid carb cleaning, I don't really have the tools or the space to do it.. not to mention skills.
Hot starts are how they should be according to the manual, bit of throttle, hit starter, and she fires right up.

EDIT: oops looks like something went wrong, I was trying to post this in my other thread.

Ride it like a 2 stroke:
1: Rev high
2: Add oil
3: Repeat

If you're looking at the slack tube method for checking float height, a piece of aquarium air tubing fits on the nipple perfect.  It's also cheap and available.  Anyone who has an aquarium probably has an 8" piece to spare.
