If you bottom out or are up to 1 1/2 turns from bottom out, then you need to rejet. Someone else will have a better explanation.... I think you will need to reduce the primary idle jet. James |

Switch to hotter plugs or replace the carb with something else. Make sure you have good HEAT to the intake manifold. You could try replacing the idle jets with smaller ones too. (That really is the solution, but as a result you may have stalling problems because of that carb/intake combination..) Jan |
