Thank you so much jkv
Now I have to adjust my carburator, my principal idle is 100 (90-95 are too low) any advice ?
Also I have coolant leaks from the downside of the cylinder, also from the headgasket , everything is New but its leaking :rage:
May I put some silicon paste ?
After fixing all that, just have to fix and paint the fairings and I'm done with it.

Not sure I'm following about the idle - is it idling at 1000 RPMs or something else?

Did you torque the cylinder? It's possible the mating surfaces are not perfectly flat. I've had engines (heads) that needed the surfaces to be lapped with lapping compound on a very flat surface (Quartz or Granite) in order to get a flat surface that will seal properly.

No matter what, it's going to need to come apart again to cure. Maybe someone has a good fix, but I would start with lapping the surfaces.

When I talk about my idle its about my principal idle jet in the carburator, i must choose the correct idle jet to adjust the carburator

Yes I torqued the cylinder and checked several times but maybe it need to be lapped like you said, the cylinder is new from 2018, but the rest upside and downside is original from the Factory, so it is "old"

What does it do that makes you think the current jet isn't correct?

Have you made adjustments to the idle mixture screw? Can you get it to idle?

Which carb is this? It looks like Dell'Orto PHBN/PHVA 17.5 to me... Are you sure you're talking about idle jet? Idle jet size should be around 30-36. Size 100 should be main jet.
