turn the air/screw mixture out 2 1/4 turns and go from there. If it's all the way in, it's going to idle HIGH.

As for the noise, it's probably your valves. Adjust them. The smoke is probably because it needs new rings.

ok I know where the idle screw is there's one screw facing the jug that one is turned all the way tight I got it to turn halph way but now it's cold n dark
what it needs: rear swingarm (was modified n welded) checked the timing chain it's tight there wasn't any oil put some in w stopleak oil treatment
tmw I'll try to get it going
