carb issues

You dont want it still white as that would be lean, but toasty tanish to starting to go black is safe. Obviously the closer to the tan-ish the closer you are to perfect. Myself, I tend to like to run them a little on the richer side for safety sake since my riding area/locations can vary alot. Just saves me from rejetting.

Yea I'm gonna try to run mine a bit rich for safety sake. How long to run it before checking the plug?

Lots of threads already cover it but heres one for a little while back that has lots of good info. I think there maybe one tutorials too.

the 'chop' thing, is that the in any gear push full throttle and cut the motor of, pull the plug andcheck it? i just rebuilt my carb and reset the main jet to factory but the lead pipe of the exhaust pipe in the dark will get red hot..

Thats what i was thinking bones so i turned up the main jet a little and it seems the motor does'nt run as hot now, but when using the choke it ideals funny not a usaul high rev and when i give her gas she almost spudders threw the first 1/4 of the throttle, do you think i need to turn it up more putting more fuel to it,, mine came with a K&N filter on it i heard that causes problems too..
