I noticed some dirt and crud accumulating near my air bleed screw; is this typical or a sign of fuel leaking out? I didn’t see anything other than the bleed screw that looked like it could be the source. It was at 1.75 turns out, so not crazy from what I understand, and that’s just how I found it (secondhand kart and motor). My guess is it is nothing major, but I didn’t want to just skip over it without checking first.
That’s not fuel leaking out, it’s just debris building up. Very normal. Clean it well this winter and let her rip

Thanks! I figured it could be. I’m hoping to get it back together soon - so far I have found my valve lash exceeded 8 thou, my exhaust gasket was nonexistent and blowing tons of leakage out, and my needle clip was lean by at least one position and maybe two. I’m pretty sure it was misaligned as well, and my clutch shat itself, too, so now I am seeing the boogeyman everywhere with this thing, haha
