Please don't type in all CAPS, it is considered SHOUTING and is harder to read.
'clips' and 'turns' it took me a while to realise you were talking about the carburetor and you were playing with the mixture screw and needle position! 4 turns out is a lot different to the factory setting which is 1 1/2 turns out.
If it is overheating it is running too lean. As you changed the stator, also consider the ignition timing. Popping can also be caused by the ignition failing under load, coil, lead and spark plug.
For the initial settings - 03-12
- lightly seat the pilot all the way to the back - lightly, too much torque and you'll ruin the o-ring in there - then back out the pilot screw 1 & 1/2 turns. From there - you let it run for 10 minutes or so and then adjust the idle to 1,300 +/- 50 rpm - turn your handlebars left and right after adjustment of the throttle lever to make sure it's okay and not binding up - and do your adjustment from the throttle stop screw. According to the specs, once you set that pilot at 1,300 +/- the rest of the adjustment is done with the throttle stop screw. If you do all that and it's still not picking up fuel - definitely give the intake/carb boot a good look over for any cracks or anywhere vacuum could escape - and if it still doesn't pick up the fuel - give the throttle set screw a turn or two. Had a 2000 Yamaha XT225 carb I rebuilt a few weeks ago - adjusted everything as instructed - but it wasn't picking up the fuel. I gave the throttle set screw about a 1/3 turn in to put a little nudge on the throttle and it fired right up. All The Best and Good Luck - Justin Lee, 17 South Industries, LLC

ever put a clutch in? 100% sure you have the discs in right? It could very well be that it is adjusted too tight and won't release the clutch. Usually happens when you go from a bad bad over adjusted clutch to a nice new one.
Hey Josh,
Cleaning a carb is a little more that most people realize..it takes someone with knowledge and training to really do one right... take it to a professional..
