I'll give it a sniff later for oil smell, if carb issue.. I guess I'll have to crack it open sooner than planned. I was going to do the pilot jet swap to 40 instead of stock 38 anyway
thanks guys! I'll keep checking to see if symptom continues

I would drain it back so it's between the upper and lower marks. Too high isn't good.
Have you removed the caps from the Idle Mixture Screws? I would do that, and get the mixture set properly, but if the adjustment isn't way out (over 3.5 turns out) there's no reason to replace the Pilot Jets.

This is for the PreGen models, but I think yours (NewGen) is the same. There are differences in the carbs and internal parts but I believe the mixture adjustments should be the same side-to-side like the PreGens.
2.5 turns out is a good base for most, slightly more with ethanol gas or cold temps.
