87 Yz125 will not idle at all?????

Wayne_VintageMx_87_Yz125
I got a 87 Yz125 runs great real strong, but ever since I replaced kick starter spring bike wil not idle. I need it to idle at least 10 to 15 seconds the way I ride. Also if there is a problem I want to know before causing any more problems. I took off side cover replaced spring and spacer to the starter. I replaced all gaskets I had to remove during repair. Bike runs real strong attached a link to show a little ride after the repair but I have no idle now and carb was just cleaned a day or two before starter spring replacement. It doesn't idle on choke nothing idle wise bike will die without giving throttle. Also new starter repair works great goes down and pops right back in place. It's a one kick start always never a problem or any work to start 98% of the time just one kick and she fires right up and runs strong a lot stronger than most of people's newer 125s. Please help I need a idle at least 10 seconds. Any tips ideas are greatly appreciated. Here is the link to the ride after repair just to show its still real strong and runs great just can't get it idle and it's driving me nuts because it's time to ride lol. Thanks again for any help or tips! [https://youtu.be/xwftLQE_WPo

Make sure your powerband is off when you start it so it will idle, then turn it on right when you start riding.

If it's the yellow powerband it won't idle well, it's more of a pro color powerband. You need the purple or blue powerband, they are more for intermediate riders.
