I just drove over 15 miles around the lake and neighborhoods after installing the 70 jet. Now it runs like a champ at all speeds and conditions. I did a plug chop on return and will read the plug when it cools, but I'm pretty sure the skins are going back on.

Thanks to all for the comments and tips to help get me pointed in the right direction.

If u need to block the air box then she wants more fuel, soak the foam filter in 2 stroke oil then ring it out, that should block the air path a bit and richen it up, you can also play with the air fuel mixture screw, turning it in (clockwise) should richen up the mix too, ive learned on the older bikes they tend to like the screw in farther than factory settings, like those small passages in the carb just arent as clear and free flowing as they used to be.
