The thimb throtttle does have 3/4" of free play (how to adjust?) but I think this is a classic carb problem.
With the yardwork, Thanksgiving, etc I could really save some time if anyone knew the quick answer. Sure, i could give up and put the Mikuni on but I dont have time right now and thats a chickens way out...this must be fixable.
I would really appreciate any insight on this (float-slide-etc).
Thanks a bunch!

Hey Pete,
Lots of talk on the forums about the chinese carbs being gummed up in shipping, and having crappy floats that need some cleaning and tweaking initially. You have a very typical problem and seen a lot of this complaint in the forums.
On both my 110cc and 50cc Gio's, they are extremely choke position sensitive. It's not a problem on my 110, since there is a lever under the handlebar, but the 50cc has a manual lever on the carb and it's a bleep sucker to get at. I'm not sure which setup is on the 200cc Beast, but it wouldn't surprise me if this is part of the problem.
I would play with your choke lever position some and see if that helps your bog problem before dissassembling the carb to look inside.
