I pulled my 100w floodlights out and already made the necessary adjustments - just didn't kick it over. The throttle miraculously rotates through its full range of motion now....
As another member mentioned as well, I need to be mindful of the break-in period after installing the new rings. The thing couldn't have run more than 45-50secs since I replaced them, but at 3/4 throttle each time....who knows how long it'll be before I'm in there again replacing things...
I can't wait to get out there and kick it over and hear it run normally. I'm also going to take some time tomorrow and tighten up the wiring a bit. I was looking through the wiring diagram at the back of the manual and it looks pretty straightforward (much like the carb/throttle slide did...).
It can be frustrating at times but there sure is no better way to learn. I know one thing I'll NEVER do again with a carb!
Thanks again and I'll get a post up tomorrow if/when I can report back with good news.

This is cool.
Can you use pics and info on lengthening the swingarm? I can send pics.

High Pulsing Rev FIXED!!! Runs like a champ
Well, a slightly beleaguered champ, but nothing a little carb tuning can't fix!
It was 100% my error putting in that throttle slide 180 degrees from how it's supposed to sit in the carb. I knew something was obviously not right but I couldn't figure it out! Thanks Lenny for the tip.
The thing kicked over on the first try and began a nice, slightly higher than standard, idle. I also took the time to get the wiring in order. Fortunately it's all there and in relatively good shape so everything now works which is cool.
Thanks to everyone who chimed in with helpful advice. I'll definitely be back here frequently and hopefully help out where I can. Once this quad's back together I'll get a better photo of it and post it in the garage. It's not pretty but it's ceratainly beginning to run better than it has!
