    Carb going out of tune?

    I recently synced the carbs using a carbtune, and adjusted the pilot jets based on ear, feel, and sound. Everything was great for a bit. It's been about a three weeks and I swear it's running lean now. Idles higher, multiple flat spots in acceleration. I'm about to go through it again, but how often should you have to make these adjustments? Surely not this frequent.

    Just went through a bought with my carbs, wasn’t them, check your valves for tightness. After being inside of my carbs way more than I should have, I decided to start at the beginning with a valve adjustment….they were all tight, now set to the loose side she’s back to normal. I run pods and supertrap 4/1 exhaust.

    good luck
