1150-1229 kit with 90 gixxer 11 carbs, factory jet kit, k&n's, pipe.
Idle has been hanging up lately, more towards the end of the ride. I realize this usually indicates a lean condition, but even when my carbs o-rings hadn't been changed the idle rarely ever hung up.
I recently changed the intake boots, had the carbs synced and changed the o-rings. The o-rings were changed after sitting in water, vinegar, lemon juice for 5 days.
The weird thing is, I've progressively richened the float height, after I changed the o-rings and replaced the emulsion tubes, 3 times. So the mixture is richer than it's ever been.
If I let the clutch out slightly at a stop, the idle will come down. Also when I shift gears, it feels like the throttle is still engaged, even though I've rolled off the throttle to the stop when I shift. There's slop in the throttle cable, so it should be bottoming out.
A/F screws are out probably more than they should be 3.75-4 turns which makes me think I might need to richened the pilots. I tried to determine if they're stock or 2 sizes bigger, but w/o the carbs off, I'm not sure. Last time I checked the plugs, they looked bare, if not a super light tan.
While riding today I tried pulling the choke out at 35mph, which made it run worse. Just seeing what thoughts folks have as to what might be the cause. Thanks.
