What about that round black thing in the picture in my last post? Does that stay or can I remove that as well?

I like the idea of removing things I don't need on here! For the tank venting system, it has 2 lines (3 really but two go to the same place). One line goes to this thing that I don't know what its called:  The other hose goes to a T connection that splits between the manifold and another black plastic vacuum thing. So do I remove it from the T connection and cap off that thing in the picture above? |

I didn't notice a difference, it's sort of surging slightly right now anyway, the back wheel spins on idle. It stalled and now it's doing the thing were it starts for a second then dies.

I do have carb cleaner, just picked some up today in case you wanted me to take apart the carb  I will try that now, or as soon as it will start.. |

How many turns is the screw out from the closed position? Or how many turns was it out before. It sure is acting like it runs out of fuel when it dies. The Vacuum line going to the PETCOCK does it go straight to it or does it go to a "T" or a "Y then another piece of hose goes to the PETCOCK on the tank. Alleyoop It was 2.5 turns so I brought it back out between 2 and 2.25 turns. The vacuum line from the petcock goes to a T, which then splits between the carb and the manifold. |

Turn the screw clockwise until it stops and count the number of turns it took to stop. Then turn it out 1/2 turn less and see if that helps it. Did you fix the throttle cable? If you twist it away from you it should give slack and not pull. Alleyoop It starts up for a second then stalls out. I haven't fixed the throttle cable yet, I want to get some lube for it before I mess with it. |

fuel mixture not going so well. I did a 1/4 turn counter clockwise, I thought it sounded like the engine sped up, so I did another 1/4 turn counter clockwise and it stalled and now it won't start, even after moving the screw back 1/4 clockwise.

Here is a better picture of just about how it should be put in there. Now to do this you have to take the two screws out from under the black controler and it comes apart in two halfs then rotate the grip in the right position. Alleyoop   Yes, you are correct, it was on the bottom, not the top. |

Here is the video of the cable going both ways. I'm going to attempt the instructions you gave now.

I loosened the nut on the cable at the handle bars and that added some play to the throttle. It still works both ways, but it has play in it.
I just started it and it started right up, the auto enricher did its thing and then it idled ok. I revved it about 25% and held it and the engine was bogging down, then stalled.
EDIT: after it stalled it refused to start.

I just started it up and it sounded like maybe I have the idle correct now, I recorded it. It still stalled on me, but maybe now that the idle looks good I can figure out what's causing the stalling?

It's easier for me to do a video then a picture, so here is a video of my throttle cable at the carb....

Will it stay running with the gas cap off, or loose? Seems to run the same with the gas cap off. I had to turn the idle screw up to get it to start, then it was too high, as I was turning it down it stalled, no it doesn't want to start. Here is a video I took right before I tried it with the cap off: |

I tightened up the valves just slightly, put liquid gasket on everything and put the valve cover back on. This time it started up, seemed to be running ok, but at a high idle. I attempted to adjust the idle screw slightly each time, and just when I thought I was close to the wheel not spinning it stalled and won't start.
Right after it stalled I took off the gas cap and there was a suction noise.

I'm going to take the valve cover back off and put a bead of liquid gasket around it to make sure it isn't leaking.
