Talking Got the 1976 RM250 Running

Hi guys, well I got the 1976 RM250 running on Sunday, it sounds good. I ended up rebuilding the carb, new throtle valve and cleaned the floats, etc. However, I am still having trouble getting it to idle.. any suggestions? Also, the 20/1 gas mixture seems kinda rich, is this right? Thanks for all your help by the way..
