Ok, this is driving me nuts. So I had the motor running perfectly. The needle had the c clip 1 towards the rich side (bad idea later). Warmed it up for 10 minutes, I turned it off by pulling the spark plug, i did this many times (I know is bad NOW). so I waited again, it turned on fine, I adjusted the the idle with the screw, idling fine now, sounded great, drove great. then the 2nd time i was warming it up, i saw a lot of smoke coming from the head, pretty sure that was the paint coming off, and some plastic from the spark plug wire melting.. So after the spark plug wire melted, it wouldn't grasp very well to the spark plug. So i left it on there and i turned on the motor after that and it was extremely loose but I still rode it for a bit. Then to turn it off I pulled the spark wire again. So now i was confident that my bike ran fine. So now if i remember correctly I turned off the fuel valve but I don't remember, I'm pretty sure I did. Then I checked the spark plug, it was pretty wet so I knew I was running rich. I waited 3 hours, and tried turning it on and it didn't start. It hasn't started since. I wanted a new spark plug anyway so I bought one. I also ordered a new spark plug wire. So those are on the way. But in the mean time I changed the c clip more towards lean side. Then I checked my float, checked my whole carb it was fine.
