bigheavy150, your engine sounds lean. According to waynev:

Just remember that the pilot jet / A/f screw will control the idle mixture ( if your A/F screw is more than 2 turns out you should go up 1 size in pilot jet), the needle jet adjustment will take care of the midrange mixture and your main jet will control 3/4 to WOT.
Since you're three turns out, it's a good idea to swap in a fatter pilot jet. I'd drop the needle one more groove, swap in a fatter main jet and re-test.
yes i need a new pilot jet, only problem is finding one, thats not one of the items that italika sells so IDK.
It was much more lean before. I think its a hair on the rich side now at idle. and i may raise the needle again

Also im sure my oil temps would be higher with some sustained speed but the side streets around here are pretty small and crowded. I plan on taking the gun with me tomorrow for a trail ride But i dont think this motor will overheat anymore
