    How long till carbs gunk up?

    Just curious as to how long it would take for sitting carbs to gunk up. My bike sat for over a month without me starting it and I wonder if a jet clogged up. I run Seafoam or Techroline in every tank and I never let the carbs go dry.

    Not a Max, but need some help on some Faser carbs

    Put a Dynojet stage three kit on my Fazer... Runs great up top and at idle but midrange is bad. Lowered the needles to the second setting, but still no change. Anyone have one of these that they tinker with? Haven't checked the float level yet, could that cause a mid range stumble and miss?
