got this project put together today. Had to make an offset intake. it runs fine and has been returning to idle ok now it takes a few seconds to idle back down.the intake consists of a 3/4 o.d. plastic connector shoved in carb with silicone, o ring and clamp to secure it the other end is the stuck on a stock intake cut in half and flipped upside down w silicone and a clamp. here is a vid also sprayed down intake w carb cleaner and found no air leaks All thoughts welcome.

Have you looked down the throat of the carburetor to watch the barrel? Is it returning to the idle position quickly? If not check your throttle cable for kinks or binding. If it reacts quickly to the throttle cable then it sounds like an air (vacuum) leak. If possible post a good photo of your intake and carb installation. That's the most logical place for leaks.

put some lube down your cable sheath for your trottle, make sure the plastic peice is lubed inside of the throttle hosing.
make sure the carb is assembled correctly- the c washer is in correctly and the spring is seated correctly.

also, if its brand new things are going to be tight, tolerances on these kits are bad, keep twisting on the throttle for a bit and youll find that things will start to move easier. mine barely turned when i first got it.

edit: glad to see you got it working.
 
Check for an air leak where the cable goes into the top of the carb. You can put a wrap of electrical tape or use a craft glue gun to seal it better. It might help.
 
That is amazing. I use the cheap stuff on 2 smokes, had one tint a bit yellow but nothing like that. Cool.

Marketing idea, we find the additive that gives oil different smells and changes fuel line color. Sell it as MBC, magic, wonder 2 stroke oil!

When I first looked at the pics, I wondered if it was aquarium tubing. I had thought about using some back in a pinch
