Newbie with gts150

[JGoodin86]

Hello all. My name is Jacob. I bought a gts 150 off craigslist a few weeks ago and have been messing around with it. Tore the motor down and it had a melted piston. Replaced it and intake valve was adjusted too tight. Adjusted it back to normal and it fired up. I live in Massachusetts and can't wait to get this thing in some snow.

Anyway, I have a couple problems with it. It will start and idle most of the time. Sometimes it will just die after sitting there idling. When i give it a little throttle it immediately bogs and dies. It has a 24mm mikuni carb in it with a 15 pilot jet. After doing some research this pilot is way too small. Let me know what size you guys would recommend. Stock air filter and exhaust. Only aftermarket thing is a yellow xtreme powersports motorio adjustable cdi/coil; which leads me go my next question. Where can i find an instruction sheet for this thing? Like what do all high/low positions do for timing at which position?

Thanks for the help and glad to be part of the forum
