It was the best I could come up with what I had at the time. Rubber wrapped toothpick hillbilly hack was just to get me started. What is the other tube below that with the hose clip on it? Elevation = foothills in NC, 300-800 ft?

This is how it looked before I plugged the bare nipple shown in the most top left position of the carb, where I thought the injection input goes.

Probably flooded, the throttle was stuck wide open, I held the clutch and quickly went from kill switch/key-off/ to choke out until it finally cut off.

The slide slot/pin need to be aligned for it to close/operate correctly, got that. But, still not sure why this thing went ice cold on me.

Fuel filter ordered & I'll be sure to do another thorough cleaning. (3rd or 4th time, lol) So, let me ask this also... When the throttle stuck, the carb went cold at the top by the slide/cap, why would that be? Shooting cold air instead of fuel? Little air hiccup with no fuel for a second...

"Nasty" is right. I had the tank upside down to shake out the broken filter screen... kinda like a guitar pic in an acoustic guitar.

That was it. Idled fine after adjusting... Jumped on, took her for a rest spin, idled fine after ride.... Happy, having fun, WOT, andddd she gets stuck wide open. Kill switch/key off, nothing except when choke is pulled open does it die. Alrightty, glad it was me and not my daughter, which I now...

*going to find this idle screw....

Leak has not come back. Still will only idle when 1/2 choked. With choke off, I keep very little throttle to try n adjust the air screw, but no change. If I let off the gas it will turn off. Other clue, was after starting using the choke, I turn the choke off & sometimes it will idle up 1st...

I think I'll do a second leak down test, it's certainly possible something came loose and causing a leak.

Ahhh crap. Was hoping it wasn't. Copy that! Draining weed whacker garbage ASAP. I really need to get with my neighbor and figure out how to get this thing running right. Figured out my "ON" stem of the gas line is clogged too. It will only run fuel through the "RES". Oh well... I do have a...

LOL, I posted the wrong picture. It was supposed to be a zoomed in shot of the diagram you have, hi lighting "#6", the caliper piston seals. I thought it was a cover plate... It's actually 2 rubber seals, is that right?

Dealer was great. Got my jets, lug nut I was missing & the correct oil. Hers a side by side of what I put in initially. Also, guy helped me get the high performance oil because I'm pre mixing. Is that other oil a no-no? Thinking about draining the tank and putting only this yamalube in. Think...

I keep seeing diagram pictures showing a (2) seal type cover? Are they rings? Now I really hope the dealer has these... Prob not being a 7 yr old bike.

I'll get it right after the 300 main jet replaces the 230 stocker. Can't wait. Only thing I'm dreading, is opening the carb and trouble shooting this over flow. I seen the member's video showing a trouble shoot test of the float height and plunger.
