      The usual starting point for the mixture screws ( on the top rear of the carb throats ) are 2 out from lightly seated and you fine tune from there.

      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          Gonna go with 115s but Z1 sent me these:

          EDIT: Rob also recommended changing the Pilot Jets:




          I'll let you know how things work out for me if you're interested.
          You will not need those pilot jets but you will at least need the 117.5's or 120 main jets. Adjust the fuel screws after the main jet change and report back.

            I'll break 'em down, again, and take a look.

            Thanks again!
            Yep, I had to put on my reading glasses to see the numbers. The camera got a decent close-up view.

            Sir, yes sir!

            I was told by MrBill to go up 3. Let's see what he says about going to 117.5s.

            I'm good with doing the 117.5s.

            my opinion shouldn't be taken as gospel or in any way that would lead you to believe otherwise (30Sep2021)

              Well, with my pipe and K&N air cleaner, I went from 112.5 to 115.5 and it worked out just fine. Air box lid on as well. I trying to take into consideration when Ed gets home that 120's would make it too rich at that low altitude. Right now Ed is just installing the pipe and keeping his stock air filter. He may go to the K&N air filter at a later date.

                I was one who poo-pooed the importance of a good carb sync. Now that I have a Carb-Tune and have done it, it runs SOOOOOO much better.
