[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 126609, member: 98"] now brian it seems you got to get into serious jetting .....and figure out what the carb is doing before moves ....seems to me ..you run the bike in the idle circuit only ... part throttle round town type riding and then check plugs and see what there doing .. being able to adjust mix and idle speed screw is a must ....the idle has fix air going to it ...and the idle gas jet is it for adjusting .....drilling a hole in the throttle plate away from gas siphoning ..is just like jetting ...meaning there a perfect size hole for every set up .... so i had the carb on and off hooch several times trying to get the right size hole in throttle plate with the .45 gas jet i had in the carb ....when things got right it seemed everything just past idle was perfect ... seems to me once here with idle circuit right it easier to deal with the rest of the jetting ... seems like on hooch i did everything backwards but learned a lot doing it .... plus i would exhaust all the attempts i could with idle jet and screw twisting to be sure lack of air is totally evident before going to drilling plate .... :builder: on webers dft it is said that one turn out on idle mix screw is perfect ...anything less than one turn .. idle jet should be a step smaller ... anything above 2 turns idle jet should be bigger ... idle speed setting is suppose to be no more than 2 turns once screw touches linkage ... this is for cars ...just so you know for base line knowing ... :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
