They are power restrictive? That seems kind of odd. Wouldn't you have people doing carb swaps if that was the case. I thought cv's we're just a more accurately fuel delivering system. Since the you up in the butterfly the draw the engine actually pulls up the diaphragm the diaphragm is really...
So I just wanted to give an update. I was tuning the other day and decided to go lean my main jet out and overall. I wound up at 105's main and needle on position 2. Runs nice and brown plugs. If anyone find's this thread I have the mikes xs400 performance carbs. Bought in 2018.
Super sorry yes really poor wording on my part and got ahead of my self. Yes exactly that. The markings were for needle diagnosis. Thanks for the correction. Wouldn't CV carbs just take a little longer to get to wide open? I mean when you open the throttle its just a gradual increase of fuel...

Hmm. I have been reading all over that these things are crap and I have been trying to deal with mine. I would have just got some cv's or some other carbs if I didn't get these with the bike. I am running a completely dropped down needle and a 145 main with a 40 for the pilot. I road around for...
So your liking the 120? These come come with a set of 100, 110, and 120's. What do your plugs look like or what are you basing the performance off of? Do you have a sniffer or are you plug chopping?
