d**n, thats some lite jetting.  :shock:

Here in AZ - elevation 2000' temp 70 -ish - I run a 175 main, a 58 pilot, 2 turns on the airscrew. 40:1 Super M and 92, clean airfilter and a VForce cage with FMF Fatty pipe.

YUNGGUNNAZ:
va,i'm just east of richmond va.how about a little more info:
kind of oil and ratio you use.type and # plug and how did color look last time?how does slide look especially on side at adjustment screw and at cutaway?and was float levels ok? :roll: jetting is on the lean side.just for peace of mind do a compression ck to make sure.this is going to be a good one.

Rick:
Yup, jetting seems way lite.  Don't think I even have a pilot that small in the race van.   :shock:

I the bottom end was just serviced, probably not a wet side seal.  

YUNGGUNNAZ hit the nail on the head.  Post up a few more details and I think we can help find the problem...

VaKxRider:
I will agree with everyone that my jetting is WAAAYYYY lean.......that's what has me so baffled.

For premix I run Maxima Caster 927 at 40:1.
I have the float height set to spec (if I am in fact doing it correctly).
I have ordered a new float valve to see if that helps.

So what exactly should I be looking at on the slide???

I also noticed today that my shock is most definately blown. Anyone on the east coast know a good place to have it rebuilt.???

I love riding this bike but since it is a 91 it is starting to nickle and dime me to death!!!!!

YUNGGUNNAZ:
va,was the carb ever spewing gas out over flow tubes?i was wondering whether the idle screw had chewwed a place in slide.
