I would like to thank everyone for guiding me to this point, but I still need carb help. Have an 07 Max with 2K on the clock. Everything is stock except for the below listed mods. I noticed after I installed the exhaust and air filter that it seemed to be running lean around 4K or so. After doing the Peashooter, Shotgun, taking apart and cleaning the carbs, and running Seafoam/Techron cleaner, although slightly less noticeable, the seemingly lean condition still existed at 4K. Checked all the rubber connections and diaphrams, everything looks to be OK. I finally decided to shim the stock needles. This seems to be the only change I?ve made that actually caused a result. The plugs or plug wires did not seem to make any difference. When I shimmed the needles with a washer that is the same size as the washer on top of the stock needle, the lean condition has moved to 3K ? 3.5K or so. The fuel screws were set to 3.5 turns out, I have changed them to 4 turns out but have not ridden it since I made that change. Will ride later this week to see if that helps. Anyone have any other suggestions?:confused2:
