So today I replaced the infamous slide plate seal. Upon disassembly I discovered some doofus before me decided to use RTV to seal it. The bike idles wayyy better now and I can get it to idle lower than I could before, but when i stab it, it will not return to idle for at least 30 seconds. It did this before, prompting me to replace the seal. I installed it correctly, with the seal facing the right way and the hole in the correct position.

42.5mm bore 04 CRF carb
3rd clip from the top NCVQ
Either a 40 or 42 pilot do not remember exactly.

Before the idle would need to be lowered as the bike got hot. I havent had an opportunity to get it hot as it was raining and I am low on fuel.

I am thinking it is an air leak, but I can’t seem to find it.

Any ideas???

Don’t mind the rattle it is the horseshoe on my bumper
