Update: adjusted valves (intake was ok, exhaust was tight son only adjusted it). Cleaned carb again really well and cleaned (for the first time - didn't think to before) the needle valve and port into the carb. Started easily and running much better. Still coughing once in a while when idling so not 100% smooth but certainly a step in the right direction.
I've read the instructions (http://itistheride.boards.net/index.cgi?board=tt&action=display&thread=12) on tuning the carb and not sure its really adjusted correctly. I've read that the correct starting place for tuning is 2-1/2 times counterclockwise from all the way in and also read 1-2/2 times. Any other suggestions on carb tuning and/or thoughts on the coughing (a little "pup" noise every few seconds - doesn't do it when under load, just when idling) are welcome.
Thanks for the advice.
