I've been having trouble with this for a while, I originally fixed this problem by adjusting the clutch cable arm. Now I get the problem again so I run her around the block and use carb cleaner. While spraying around the neck of the carb neck it popped out of clutch and shut off. So I installed a silicone oring but problem still insists. Here is a weird way so sorta counter this and it involves clutch lever pull sensitivity, if I pull the clutch in all the way, High idle. 50% pull still high idle, even 25% pull the same but if I just slightly hold the lever let's say at 10 percent the idle goes down by at least 700. Maybe I still need to adjust clutch arm some more or keep searching for leaks?

Well think I got it fixed myself. Something I don't think I've ever heard mentioned here. Teflon tape to seal the 2 screw that hold on the bottm float bowl area, also wrapped Teflon tape around the intake manifold. Now full clutch lever pull it does not act like a raped ape while idle.
