    Bike has a high compression piston. Can't seem to get it to idle properly. It will idle low after I give it throttle but then slowly climb by itself and idle way to high. Backfires quite abit when you let off when riding

    Sounds like an air leak on the intake side of the carb. Maybe the manifold / intake boot, carb body / slide, air screw ?
    Use some starting fluid to spray around those areas and see if the idle jumps up. Might not hurt to check the air screw for the o-ring.
