Well I did finally get the clip adjusted and I moved it all the way to the bottom slot (for anyone else reading this its much easier with gas tank removed which is really easy 2 bolts) I got it back in and the carb mountesd to the intake but the throttle cable is now really loose, there is a lot of play in the gas so I am trying to get the play out and am loosening the locknut and adjusting but it just doesnt seem right like it was before. Also was wondering ..on the carb...the fuel screw is on the bottom and the air/idle is on the side? What do you recommend for them at this point? I did read other postings but since I wasnt sure which screw was which I wasnt clear on how to adjust.

I work out of my home and have spent the day messing with this bike instead of doint my other work! lol...but I couldnt stand it that I ran the battery down trying to start it so I started tinkering and well here I am with it all apart. My next door neighbor is handy with bikes so I know he can be of some help but alas he is at work as well. Its been 30 years since I owned a motorcycle so even though I am not afraid to tinker with it most of this is new to me...famliy were all mechanics and I went to school for it but (about 20 years ago) after working for my uncle for a year , alsways dirty always hot or always cold I changed carreers and got a desk job...

Thanks for the help thus far...I will let everyone know how it turns out...anyone that can shed a light on the cable at this point please dont be afraid to post to this.. I am about 99% sure I have the cable in the carb correctly with the slot lined up and all so I am confused as why it so out of adjustment now....
