I've tried even turning it out to the point where it was gonna fall out to see what would change. But still not much changeHave you tried turning down the idle even more?

The spring is there. The slide moves up and all the way down freely. Slide Doesn't get hung up. I've adjusted the mixture screw to 1 / 5 turns put from all the way in adjusted from there when the bike was warm. The trottle cable was properly set in I even took it out to see if it was but same problem occurred. I'll get some pictures out right now I'm not at the bike..Is the spring between the barrel slide and the cap missing? Does the slide go all the way down freely with the idle screw all the way out? Is the mixture screw adjusted properly? Is the throttle cable adjustment too far out of the barrel cap keeping the throttle open? Now we are going to need some pictures. Good close up clear pictures.
What places specifically should I take pictures? I don't want to post wrong pictures that have no involvement in what may be going on.Is the spring between the barrel slide and the cap missing?

I'll have the pictures to you soon, Also I did check the float levels they where parallel level. But I couldn't find the right measurements online for float height for the VM22 clone mikuni.Also have you checked the float levels? Just because it is new don’t mean it’s right.
Remove air cleaner picture down the throttle bore at rest and full throttle. Remove barrel and pictures down the bore and of the slide. And overall of the carb installed at rest.
Ok, also the cap and the spring I didn't take a picture of but I do have bothThe only thing I can see is the float may be 1/16”-1/8” to high. Where is the spring that goes between the barrel and the cap? Where is the cap?
To further help others, you are talking about the brass screw underneath the carb, infront on the bowl?VM22 has an air/fuel enrichment screw which is responsible for buffering the idle and up to about 1/8 open throttle...
Extremely lucky but then again putting a Motorcycle carb on an equipment engine isn't exactly what one might call standard practice.To further help others, you are talking about the brass screw underneath the carb, infront on the bowl?
Never had to mess with that, maybe im just lucky.
It all depends, there is a reason the stock 224 does not ship with a huge carb.It also litteraly just occurred to me while typing this specific reply that a VM22 is way too small of a carb for an engine over 198cc ISH.
That very well may be, but a larger equipment engine carb is NOT AT ALL the same thing as swapping for a custom intake and a motorcycle carb.It all depends, there is a reason the stock 224 does not ship with a huge carb.
But for my hopped up 224 it ran very strong with a big bore gx390 carb.
That would be correct.To further help others, you are talking about the brass screw underneath the carb, infront on the bowl?
