i have a 196cc baja minibike and ive encountered a problem
i picked up a big air filter kit to replace the airbox and after installing the bike wont idle unless choke is on
the bike dies if choke is removed or gave throttle, i tried drilling out main jet to allow more fuel but did not work
also tried adjusting pilot screw and no difference was made
the engine also randomly got a violent vibration during idle to the point gas tank as slapping up and down on one side where it has no mounts
i noticed when i first installed this filter theres no where for crank vent tube to go into filter like it did the airbox and i tried covering the tube with my thumb
witch caused the bike to not die when gave throttle but pre sure i still had the choke on and it was kind of weak power
im assuming its not getting enough fuel and too much air so i drilled out jet but dident help, maybe if i drill it out bigger it will
another thought was maybe the pilot jet is clogged even though its a new carb it sat for months with fuel in bowl
any help is appreciated i dont know much about carbs still learning
i attached a pic of the air filter i installed vs the original airbox
airbox has a tube that was a crank breather
