Dog, looked to me like your head was also on backwards, that might explain your gasket dilema, the gasket must be oriented correctly. I have one I can photo with the arrows if you need it.

hey crab going to pick up new head gasket i am going to redo things today i will post pictures before i intstall thanks guys for your help, i just looked at pictures on ebay and my gasket looks the same , if i installed gasket wrong way the cooling passages could be in the wrong place???

I am using OEM gasket now and the X2 is running good. Just a little dead spot on top speed. What should the high speed carb screw be set at? BTW I really love the X2....

theres no magic setting. it depends on your jetting among other factors.

ideally, you want to be about 1 turn out. meaning, if everything is jetted properly and running smooth, you want about a turn out on both adjustors....this is a very general statement though.
