Hi Mr. newschoolgs,

A search of the forum would reveal the common wisdom. If you're looking for a 'plug-n-play' solution, get a Dynojet Stage 3 kit. If you're doing it manually, go up 4 to 6 sizes on the mains, one size on the pilot, shim the needles to try and richen up the middle. But the Dynojet kit has the specially tapered needles for the midrange. Read your plugs using the plug chop method and adjust as necessary to make sure you have it jetted right.

Now let me dump a TON if information on you and share some GS lovin'.

How did it run before you started cutting? you should have made run good before modifing because now you have no base line to start from, Jetting who knows now?might try 3-4 sizes bigger to start might give you something to work with, maybe.

Before i started i cleaned out the carbs and it ran pretty decent a little cold blooded but overall not bad.
