Well, this morning, despite being 32° the bike fired up the second try and is looking like it's running and starting a bit better for now. I'm still not too sure about the idle, and when I engage the clutch to try and move it just stalls right out even if I'm pedaling at a pretty good pace and ease it in slowly. Which is weird because when the bike begins starting I can feel it starting to take off before I pull in the clutch to avoid locking my back tire, plus the fact it's turning the engine over when engaged I'd imagine that means it is indeed engaging properly.
Anyway I made a quick video of my bike idling in hopes someone could suggest which way I need to turn the idle screw or anything else that I should check out:
I know I know portrait videos are annoying, the sound is what's important though
The first run(the one recorded) it was dumping a pretty good amount of smoke, though again it is about freezing outside so I'm sure that's contributing, but the second run it seemed to calm down a bit and this time around after running it for maybe 5 minutes total I could actually hold my hand to the cylinder/head without burning myself so things do seem to be improving which makes me optimistic and still holding out hope that the offset intake will help any problems the idle screw can't correct.
Again, thank you a for your knowledge and feedback, it's greatly appreciated!
