Here's the deal: Couple nights ago after getting home i yanked the carbs because i was having issues with the bike feeling like it was loping, or dropping a cylinder sporadicly. This could be sync i know, but the thing also wreaked of gas, like she was way rich at and just off idle. I took the carbs apart, cleaned them as well as i could without soaking. There was IMO no need to soak em as she's been running for a month or so now, and ran all year last year with no problems for both me and the PO, another forum member. Anyway, i found some sediment collecting in the bowls, cleaned them, blasted all orifi with carb spray, and air, assuring that everything was coming out the other end as it should, steve helped me remove a stuborn adjustment screw, and we put em back together and put em back on the bike. Power response is a bit better now, but it STILL wreaks of gas, and after warming up acts as tho its drowning. (blipping the throttle when simply warm is very concise, snaps on and off, but once hot the bike sounds very sluggish to respond)
Here's the set up:
135main
45pilot
STOCK needle (this is part of the transition problem i know, but to me it should be going more to the lean side than rich, so i dont think this is part of my actual problem at the moment)
adjustment screws at 2.5 turns out
Any ideas guys? Yeah yeah, i know i know, get a Dynojet kit, but i feel like i can lick this with a set of Dynojet needles i have and some stock mikuni jet changes, and save me some money.
