Most likely fuel/air.

Pilot and fuel/air scre are the same. You have the pilot scre and the Idle screw on the bottom of the carb. go back to 2 1/4. If it is still to much try a 40. Give me a list of your mods. I will give you an answer. If I can't I'm sure GP or Hornetgod can.

The pilot screw and air/fuel screw are the same, turn it in untill the plugs light brown.

Where are you rich at?

Shoot me a PM and I can tell you what to run.

colder temps will result in a lean condition, warmer is richer. when that happens to me I tweak my air/fuel screw a bit that pretty much takes care of it.

Pilot screw only works on the Pilot, You may need to move the needle or go down a main size for warm weather.
