Help: blaster will not idle.

First Post: I've been lurking for a bit since I just bought my blaster and there is a lot of great support here. I'm in need of some help please.

97 Blaster. completely stock to my knowledge when I purchased. After purchase I immediately deleted the oil injection pump and just filled with pre mixed (yes I used a kit from e-bay). 32:1.

Since purchase it has been a beast to start cold: 10-15 kicks for it to "catch". After doing a bit of research I decided to do some of the simpler upgrades/ repairs. So tonight I installed a Vito's TORS eliminator kit, installed new reeds (boyesen) and complete rebuilt the carb while I was at it. Now it starts much better 2-3 kicks but it will not idle at all. The throttle is very responsive and runs great as long as I keep "blipping" the throttle but I have the newly installed idle screw completely bottomed out and it continues to idle right down and die. To help with diagnostics I did shorten the receiver sleeve (the part that you have to grind down, then drill and tap for the idle screw to be threaded into) to the 1/2" that the installation kit said to, if anything I went a fraction of an inch deeper than suggested.

Please Help!!!

Thanks

did you try air screw setting on carb?
does it run better with choke on or off?

Yes, I tried adjust the air/fuel screw and it had no effect on idle quality. I did notice the engine became less responsive as the mixture got richer. Same with the choke, it become less responsive with the choke on.

SOLVED!!!

It was not related to the carb. I failed to disconnect the TORS system in all location. I only cut the wires from the old carb cap and left the rest connected assuming it had been deactivated. I cut the wires coming from my thumb throttle and then disconnect the black box on under the nose cover. After this she started to idle just fine.
