Thanks for the insights.

Now back to figuring out why the hell this thing with 4 miles on it won’t start anymore.

The rear brake works on my base Templar and should work on the X&M also. Have you re-jetted yet? The first thing I did on my Templar was re-jet the carb. I started it once before that and it was obviously way too lean. I ground the float bowl screw heads off but if I had it to do again I'd just buy a new Nibbi, jet it with 125 main, 42 pilot and 2 turns out on the idle mixture screw and swap carbs. Mine starts and runs so much better with the mentioned jets.

Good luck.

What's your elevation if you don't mind? I am installing a Nibbi 30mm this weekend.

It comes with the following:
1 x Slow Jet
Available Size #40
3 x Power Jet
Available Size: #120 122 125

I'm at 1400' - Was thinking about starting with the #120 and #40...

I'm at 450' ASL. My carb is 28mm and I expect a 30mm carb would need more fuel. I would probably start at 42 and 125 (FWIW). You might be okay with the 40 if you go 2-3 turns out on the idle mixture. GL
