Idle Kick-Backs v.II
Folke:
If you change to 52 thats will happen:when you going fast and turn of the throttle, the engine will have to little fuel and you now whats happens. In Swedish we call it "Sk?ra p? avslag". Translate that !!
Have you chech so your exhaustvalve will open corecctly? Maybe it?s close for long time.
Twist-a-grip:
If you are dripping fuel out the overflow, you CANNOT jet the bike properly. Check your float level to see if it is set correctly(16MM). If it is set correctly, turn your fuel on and leave a cup under your overflow tube. Wait about ten minutes and check to see if there is a drip. If there is...replace your float needle and check it again.
I had the same problem. The float needle leaked so I replaced it. I ran the test again...waited 20min. not a drop. If your float is not seating you will have a rich bottom end and to a certain extent everywhere else. Changing the jetting is only masking the problem. Hope this helps.

Interesting. Maybe I'm way lean and need to richen it since it ran clean with a new air filter. I'll play with the needle and jets and such to see which way to go.
As for the floats and there adjustment, there is gas coming out of the overflow but only after kicking on it (shaking it). If I turn the gas on and let is set nothing leaks.
Thanks for all the help!
