82 Honda ATC200 Idle issue

[bandit1029]

So I tore apart the carb and took out 30 years worth of rust and mud. Looks pretty now. Re-installed and got it running. After setting the pilot screw to factory recomendations. Seat, then back it out two, I tried to adjust the throttle stop screw to make it idle correctly. It seemed to be idling fine, I drove it around the block a couple times, and when I stopped in neutral to idle the rpm's started to climb and started pumping out white smoke. I killed the engine before any damage could be done. Any suggestions? The throttle stop screw was adjusted to almost all the way seated before it would idle correctly.

sounds like its still got some stuff in the carb... the reving of the motor was it leaning out ...i would check it again an make shure every little passage is still clean.. an put a filter inline

I will give it a shot! Thanks! I will probably be back on here next week trying to figure out the clutch! Seems to be shifting kind of hard... Or maybe I am not properly using it..

So me, being the inexperienced dummy I can sometimes be, spent 20 minutes cussing the bike cause it wouldn't start, then my buddy came up, switched it to the on position, and it cranked try number one ha ha. Then today at work I had a friend look at it with me when he questioned me having the choke on. I swore up and down it was off! Then we warmed it up, kicked the choke off, and it purred... almost... seems to be getting too much air still. I guess I will learn everything the hard way with this thing
