VM22 Mikuni Clone Carb Tuning

[hmpumpkin]

Hey y'all, this is my first time on this forum so I apologize for any mistakes I make...

I recently got a GX200 clone engine from a generator that I put on a homemade minibike frame. I needed a new carb, so I thought I would go with a VM22 clone. Now it is running incredibly rich. There is tons of white smoke from the exhaust. As you can see in the picture, there is gas sitting in the carb air intake part. I'm not sure if the carb is flooding or if that happens normally. I've tried changing out the pilot jet for a #15, messing with the air-fuel screw, and changing the clip on the slide to the leanest mode but nothing seems to do anything. Also it doesn't idle right now, but I think that's just because of how rich it is. I could turn the idle screw in if I wanted. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank You in advance!

Black smoke is fuel. White is mo bad. That short vid shows mostly water vapor orso it appears.

What does the spark plug look like?

Is the float and needle working properly?

Block up the rear tire so it doesn't want to run away from you.

Start with the idle air screw about 2 and a half out from lightly seated.

Get it running and adjust the idle air screw till the rpm are the highest. You might need to adjust the idle stop to drop the rpm down.

Once you get the air screw and idle set, then you can start working on the main circuit.

What is bringing the fuel to the carb? Vacuum pulse pump or is it just gravity fed? Too me it sounds like a flooding problem.
