    Stock is a 95 main and a 15 pilot. Seeing that these are the base jets for the 1000, why would you ADD more fuel flow in to an engine with way LESS CCs??? Doesnt that seem a a little ridiculous to you?

    I would go back to the stockers and start all over again with the screws set like i said. And the manual state the float hts to be 23 to 25 MM. And look at the plugs..are they gas wet or got powdery looking soot on them??

    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.

      Thats a major part of my problem, I know nothing about these carbs and just have a basic understanding on jetting & tuning. The carbs arent even the right ones for the bike, so almost everything is guess work and I'm not educated enough on this stuff to get it right it appears...

      On top of that everyone keeps giving me different information and recommending different jets. So now I don't even know where to re-start.

      As for your recommendations, the carbs had #40 pilots in it when i opened them up and someone recommended bumping that up one size to 42.5 because of the pods, so i did. I'm not sure where you are getting #15 from. They also had 92.5 mains origionally. and it was recommended bumping that up 3 sizes due to the pods. So i did, up to the #100's that I currently have.

      So again, at this point I have no idea where to even re-start. Ive had so many different jet sizes tossed at me, screw starting points recommended and general suggestions on "what most likely is my problem" that I don't even know who to listen to.

        I am getting my information directly from my OEM Suzuki Factory Service Manual setting on my bench.

          I apologize If I made it seem accusatory. I promise that wasnt the intention! But again thats part of my problem, These carbs arent the factory ones for the bike so many of the reccommendations I am getting are irrelevant or WAY off.

          I understand I have a very unique issue and thats why I am reaching out to everyone. Do I go stock for the 550cc motor? or back to stock for the carbs? Again I dont even know what bike these carbs are off of, so even stock jets for the carbs would probably be way off... and If i try to go stock for the motor, I have to figure out what that would translate to on THESE carbs... I'm kinda clueless on how to proceed.

            I would go back to the stock for the carbs. The early early 550s had VM22s which are basically the exact same as the 26s but with a smaller throat bore. I am wondering if you got the stock jetting for the early 550 VM22s and set yopur carbs up that way it would be better??

            Click on the STICKY at the top of the carb / exhaust section and fli[p thru and see if anyopne had added the early 550 specs to the archieves.

                    The bodies also look like the early VM 22s...did you measure the bores on the engine side to see for sure what size they are?

                      The engine side of the carbs have an I.D. of 26 MM.
