Too much gas. Taking off lid will lean out a little.

Look for the hardest to get to screw on teh botton of your carb.

You will need a real short screwdriver to get to it.

Stock pos is like2-1/2 to 3 turns out.

Becareful if u happen to screw it all the way in don't do it tight, its easy 2 mess it up if you tighten it down hard.

Keep in mind the fuel mixture screw (and pilot jet) only affect the mixture from idle to 1/4 throttle. 1/4-3/4 throttle is the needle and seat, 3/4 to full throttle is the main jet.
Removing the airbox lid will problaby require at least changing the main jet, and/or possibly moving the clip on the needle down one notch.
