[QUOTE="Scottysg, post: 200326, member: 3517"] I have taken my main jet from 160-178 at every step and see no change in my wot performance. its unbelievable. My float valve is adjusted to spec. The carb has been thoroughly cleaned. Every port\channel is clear. I checked the power valve system it appears to be in spec. It just doesn't wanna rev or give me any power. Im on the beach and its 70 degrees. A friend suggested I check the reeds. How do these pictures look (flashlight behind pointed right at the reed tips) Theres barely any if any light coming through the reed tips. however there is light coming around the edges as you can see. These are v force reeds, the old ones with screws holding the reeds on the block. Should I replace them or do I need to look elsewhere as to why my bike runs like a$$. Ive never had a reed issue on any of my bikes ever so I'm doubtful this matters. A 500 piston coming down should create enough pressure to close these little valves, but thats opinion only not experience. Had to weld a tork bit onto a stripped allen bolt so I could install the magnetic bolt for the speedo. what a pain.[ATTACH=full]28258[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]28259[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]28260[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]28261[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]28262[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]28263[/ATTACH] Thanks for your help.
