Well, the elevation for where I picked up the bike from is 1300 feet, and the elevation for where I have the bike now is 4000 feet. Honestly I'm not sure how many issues elevation will cause. Is that enough of a change to rejet the carb? Is that why it has problems keeping the idle? Also, happy thanksgiving!

Carefully means don’t push the drill all the way in and drill out the actual set screw hidden underneath — again refer to Thumpers post for pictures and description. Or another reason is you want a winter project to remove all the blind break off security bolts so you can gain full access to the carb to change the jets in future to any sizes you want to use. Also another reminder for hair dryer only. No heat guns. Warmed rubber is pliable rubber that easily stretches over a reinstalled carburetor compared to cold rubber that is stiff. But burnt or melted rubber is no good rubber. No need for excessive heat, save the heat gun for stripping paint or other applications.
