Your running very lean, you need to rejet for the lack of mufflers

I have a similar issue. My sig is my bike. If I slightly give it throttle, it bogs just a tiny bit, then clears up instantly and I let out in first with no problems. It's just if I were to let out and give it tiny throttle at the same time, it would bog a bit then clear right up. Right now my mixture screws are about 2.5 turns out. Popping on decal a bit but when looking at the plugs they aren't that brownish color on the tips, more of a dark/blackish look. I'll probably put mine back to 3 turns. Once I let out though, it runs like it has no problems. Sorry to bump but I have a similar situation. Thanks in advance.

1975 suzuki gs750 have pod pilters and the mufflers are off looking to get it just to run good

More air = more fuel.
You need to bump the main jet and raise the needle jet.
There are also air and fuel adjustments on the VM carbs for the pilot circuit.

[gsbobber]

how do i do either of those

I'm a CV guy but there will be some VM experts that can tell you. All I know is that you can replace the main jet in the float bowl, there is an air screw on the side of the carb and a fuel screw underneith?
