final set up

after a bit of fiddling,plug chops use of colour tune and vac gauges,this is what i ended up with.
pilots: 27.5
mixture screw: 1/2 turn out
needle: middle notch
main jet:140
the bigger pilots got rid of a stumble/misfire just off tickover plugs a nice mid brown colour,there was no difference in vac readings with tops off ,just got to set the pump

Not a expert but thought 1 and 1/2 turns out was normal. maybe smaller pilots and screwed out one and 1/2 turn. and a good run on mains be ideal to check what size main jets as mite be interfering with the 1/4-1/2 throttle mixtures. Ignore if u want, could be wrong

mixture screw

mikuni manual say mixture screws should be between 1/4 and 3/4. out everything else seems pull clean all the way through
