Fixed ???

This did a big reduction...I also had to replaced the rubber collars between the Intake and Carbs. This helped reduce the occurance more. But I have the bikes in now to have the carbs re-cleaned, fully adjusted (fuel level, Idle screw, etc), and synced. I could not find any other issues. So hopefull...

I ordered it Saturday and I should be able to replace it this weekend as long as it comes in by friday. I want to get this 4 - 5 ...

Carbs

cleaning carbs

OK. Pulled the carbs off and found a lot of build up on both sides. But I was unsure about pulling the needles. If I remove the float bowls and clean the jets will I need to recalibrate the float bowls and reset any mixture screws ? If I only remove the bowls and jets these should be able to stay th...

The outside 2 were not to bad, but having small hands to help to get back to the center two worked grea...
