Carb going out of tune?

[danny01975]

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

I think I found your post shortly after I posted this question. I will def check the valves and report back. Thanks!

Something else I found suggests it could be an electrical issue. Can a bad ignition coil cause rough running at certain throttle position? - The GSResources Forums

Will still check the valves since I don't know if it's ever been done. But if they're good, then maybe I'll check this next.

I had replaced the plug wires and caps as well on my machine. Gave better spark but no difference in the running of the bike. It does now.
