[QUOTE="Stringer, post: 178187, member: 2086"] Yes at least three times it has been cleaned. Rebuilt with new jets and gaskets. This is what I was worried about. Im near sea level and everything is stock so I shouldn't be this far off with jetting but it is. This tells me it may be something else, and jetting to compensate might be the wrong way to go about things. :noidea: When I got the bike it was set two needle clip positions leaner, float was at 18.25mm, screw was 2 turns out, and main was a 175 instead of the OEM 185 I put in there. And the bike ran ultra rich spitting black shit everywhere. I have no problem digging into the carb again but something is telling me I'm not addressing the root cause. Then again I could be wrong too. :confused: Not sure exactly how to proceed here. Bike should be running great but it's not. :cripple: [/QUOTE]
