I still have an issue or 2.
When in town, just trying to roll at 30mph or so, anything higher then 3rd gear and it seems to blubber. It is crisp if the throttle is applied but it just seems rich when putzing. I tried a half turn, a half turn in that is, and the issue seems the same if not a little worse. This would lead me to assume the screws are air screws?
The jet kit suggested 3-3.5 turns on the screw. In past experiance, with mostly snowmobile carbs, that many turns on an air screw would signal time for a pilot jet change.
What do you think?
The bike has a replacement K&N in a stock air box with a Vance & Hines pipe. the jets are not marked but their bag was marked 128 (mains). There are 45 pilots. the needles were replaced and the slides drilled. I saw no numbers on the needles and didn't actually check the size to which the slides were drilled.
The engine itself is said to be a 1230.
I will try the other way with the screws. The bike seems to consume fuel at a pretty high rate. I am going to drop the needles a notch to see if I can help that any.
The bike runs just under 4000 rpm at 60mph. It has no lack for responce from there. I have never owned a bike (or anything for that matter) with such 60-80+mph pull. So, I didn't actually count teeth, I am wondering if there might have been a smaller sprocket put in the front or is just under 4 a normal range for 60mph?
