Jetting!!! Again and again and again!
umberto:
I'm going to start at the stock settings for my year carb (90 to 93), which are very close to how Danger's carb is set up. I still plan on doing some plug chops just to make sure everything is okay and not too lean. As much work as I have put into this thing, I don't want to screw it up now. It's just now starting to get fun to ride. :-)
Foxx4Beaver:
just remember to go small steps at a time....and only change one thing at a time.
umberto:
Will do, thank you Foxx. I'll keep you guys posted.
Foxx4Beaver:

The range of jets suprised me as well. The sizes are all over the place as the years change. That's a good point about the carb being worn out. If the different jets don't help, I will probably look into buying a complete carb from Sandblaster.
