After spending a ton of time fiddling with my carbs I fixed a couple stupid mistakes and I'm running fairly good now. Starts easily, no more popping, no mid range crackle. My lat problem is to fix the response after a few minutes of starting. The engine can die if I give it too much throttle. When the engine reaches operating temp it responds good. My bike is a 1985 Canadian version which has the adjustable needle. I suspect that the clip is in the wrong position. Does anyone know the riding effects of the needle being too lean or too rich? I'm trying to figure out which way to move the needle to solve my problem (if infact the needle position is the problem). I feel like I should go leaner to take the cold stumble out. Oh yeah, the pilot screws are set at 3 turns.
