[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 137977, member: 98"] ok ...as i worked with the idle and off idle ..the jetting started as 45 idle 120 gas 220 air ...when counting the switching of the air bleeds from 160 stock to 220 now ..the 120 gas jetting is about the same as stock was ...maybe 1 step up ...just more air added to the charge ....when i would rev it ...i could hear slight lean pops ... so today i started bringing up the gas jet to get right with the 220 air ....first try was to go to 140 ..rather big move but i was confident it was lean a lot .... as it turn out i could still here some lean pops ....much better ....i was going to leave ..but couldnt cause it just hadnt showed me something different enough ...so i went 150 ...this change the entire sound the bike was making ...i was also really turning in the mix screw also and had it just 1/4 turn from bottoming out ...i am sure this is the reason it died ...i was in no way land there and really was expecting it to die ...its very easy to get idle even throttle plates were closed so it was as close to off as it gets ..... i like the way it got smoother through the revs ...so i am going to stay here and move to secondary now...i expect quite a boost in the jetting here also about 2/3 of the air flow goes through here maybe a bit less ...i am going to try an get this optimum in the gas charge ...when i do i will take hooch for a ride..... video above shows how the carb is going to work for 95% of ride time you will be in the primary ..at least me anyway :thanks: [/QUOTE]
