[QUOTE="freds40, post: 74467, member: 856"] Rode a couple of weekends back and it rode pretty well. Recently did a top and bottom end prior to that ride and wanted to start the jetting process after getting a few hrs. on the motor (the bike is relatively new to me and has had a bog). A couple of days ago I set the float height to the recommended 6.5mm +/- 1 mm. The bike fired up and ran no problem. The issue that came up is it now smokes A LOT more. It smokes a little from idle and more beyond idle. When I grab some throttle and let off, a plume of smoke rolls out the silencer and takes a second to calm down. I've since been into the carb a few more times verifying the float level, I dropped the pilot 1 size, put it back and lowered the float level 2mm all in an attempt to see what's up. I can't find any debris in the carb. The jets are all new. On the Float needle I can barely see the area the needle has been contacting the seat but there is no ridge at all. The trans. doesn't seem to be using any oil and the coolant level has not dropped at all. Heres a quick vid I took this morning.
