    WOT feels like not getting any gas

    Hi, wondering if someone has had this problem. Carbs synchronized but still idles rough. Took her out for a test run after I synched the carbs. Cracked open the throttle and took off up to 6500 rpm then nothing. It felt like there was no gas getting to the engine, just flat. New fuel filter...

    Wrong carb needles & PAJ1 jets from factory ?

    Nope... I just realize now that I have a Califonia or "cali" bike; surprise ... surprise !!! Found an earlier post from Sean Morley explaining the differences.

    03 change jets

    I was at the International Motorcycle Show in Toronto and was talking to a VMOA rep about leaning out the carbs a bit. The standard exhaust has five 3/8" holes drilled in the end face making it run a little rich. I believe he said standard jets are .150" diameter and to go up one size ( .151"...

    #42.5 idle jets

    I know US models use 37.5 idle jets. Some carbs have 42.5's. I think these use 100 air jets vs 90's also. Why is this? Does this slightly recurve the idle transfer to secondary or does it end up equaling the same curve thru different jets? I know when tuning holly type carbs if you are so far...
