      thats what I thought but my book is a little confusing, cool, so I got a filter on there correctly, gonna button it up possibly today but I have to tighten the clutch hub nut cause after I did my clutch cause it rattles bad...I sure miss riding my 1150!

          You said you had the carbs apart. Did you sync them? Out of sync carbs can make the bike run like crap.

            in older posts I wrote up a paragraph on the bike, it had a header and pods and pretty sure a jet kit when I got it as it ran great(and always has till a few months ago when I parked it), theres a video link of a run I took at Laguna seca(2 years in a row on this bike)...

            Im pretty sure my problem was some very fine rust in the tank clogged the jets, carbs are clean and new fuel filter installed, gonna run it soon and see how it goes, Ill coat the tank when I get a chance...and my friend has the color tune to run on it as well...
