I successfully drilled a couple of mine out before using a bit about half the size of a mix screw. Just need to be very careful and do not too deep. once you get through the main body, pick the parts out with a "pick" carefully and the threads shouldn't get damaged. Worked well for me.

Congrats and good luck!

Sean, do you have a pic of the double tube versions yet?

Even with the tiny bit of choke it sputters with cylinders dropping from flooding and the RPM is too low to sustain the idle until I can massage it long enough to warm up.

I need a tiny bit of choke to start, but its the same problem in cold temps and then that small window doesn't work to start the bike. I run a kerker 421 with a marks can on the back, Morley airbox, slide springs, air correctors and mikuni brand jetting only (155).

Help! I am stumped. My choke seems to flood the bike bad when starting and drops out cylinders. I have two sets of carbs and changed the right side set twice and cannot get the idle screws to act properly even after sonic cleaning as well. I am using stage 7 needles with all stock air jets and...

My 97 has one...

I am from the land of Vmax, where speed, power and style rule the day. :punk:

Depends on what country you are from mostly I guess. I am not all that familiar with the US constitution and don't understand the passion around some of the "rights". I personally don't find it annoying but it is distracting to see such polarization on a site of passion and dedication.

What do your plugs look like?

Looks like stage 1 needles. You will need to pop the carb rack off, split the carbs and check the main jetting. I am guessing they are simply too fat. Adjust your idle screws to 2.5 turns and see how it runs, if the brass idle screw plugs are missing.

Thats a sticky post right there!

The stand issue was in reference to the angle of the bike..IE not level from side to side. I was wondering if that could have float level and other effects. Not meant to derail the thread.

I am in for XL or 2XL. (6'1, 220lbs)

I can 100% confirm that Canadian bikes had adjustable factory needles. My 85 and 3 other friends bikes all had adjustable needls from a variety of years. My latest 97 Max is a US import that had no adjustable needles and after a few tries with Dyna stage 1, I ended up with stage 7 needles. My...
