I agree with the above posts. I doubt your use of the enrichener is the problem. The stock jets on a 1200 are typically 45 low & 180 high. A stage 1 rejet usually takes the jets to 48 low & 190 or 195 high. Either verify your jet size or have the A/F mixture analyzed or dyno the scoot. Don't bank of the fact that the previous owners hubby did it right. Also if you live at a higher altitude >3000 ft the jet size may need to be reduced some. You might also try removing the A/C and look into the carb throat and verify that the enrichiner butterfly is open fully when the enrichener **** is pushed in.

This is starting to look like a job for the shop.
I do appreciate all the help though.
Ride Safe,

StreetGlide2006, The enrichener/choke is not visible on the carb, and it's a plunger type valve, not a butterfly. Basically follow yoru choke cable to the carb. There'll be a plastic nut holding it into the carb, take that nut off, and you can take the choke cable out with the choke plunger attatched. And at the front of the plunger theres an oring seal, this can rot away, and require replacement, it's an easy thing to check.
