Got it running. I reset the float height, cleaned everything out again, and got a better idle air screw installed, this one doesn't leak air. It runs great. It starts easily, revs easily, has enough power to climb hills immediately off-idle, and generally applies power well now. I'm pleased. I may have had it up to 65 on a gravel service road, and had to back down...
I shimmed the needle .02" with a washer, and that seems to have given it a bit better mid-range, lowered the power a bit. I've got a #120 jet coming, so that'll take care of it permanently without a shim.
Now I just have to wait for the Carburetor to Airbox boot to arrive, since the stock one is kinda trashed from years of heat/cool cycles.
Since I haven't seen any pictures of peoples' toolboxes/pouches, here we go:
Tools inside:
8, 10, 12, 14, 17mm wrenches
Bikemaster t-handle 1/4" sockets (6, 8, 10, 12, 14mm, Phillips)
Vessel Ball Grip JIS screwdriver (+1, +2, +3, -6, PZ2, PZ3)
Small Flat screwdriver
Kawasaki Specific Spark Plug Socket
Replacement Spark Plug
Kershaw Knife
Spare tail light
Pen + insurance information + photocopy of registration + rite in the rain pad
USB Battery bank + USB-C cable
Needle-Nose Vice Grips
Etymotic Earplugs
Test Leads
Electrical tape
Rescue Strobe
