I live at sea level. Bike is bone stock except for pamco ignition, and a Mac single wall exhaust. 2 into 2. Carbs are stock. Mixture screw is 4 full turns out. If I set them to the stock 1.5 turns out, it pops a lot on decel.
Plugs are iridium and look great. I love how it hot idles so perfectly with the pamco and these plugs. Zero hiccoughs.
On choke when cold it doesn’t rev up, just idles and I have to rev it. It might be getting too much fuel on choke, but the plugs don’t show it. When it’s warmed off choke, it runs quite nicely. My thoughts are to go back to maybe 2 turns out, and move the needle up a notch. Or just reset the carbs to stock and change the pilot jet up on increment. I don’t really know if the sorta sleepy cold start is just the bike or the jetting. Carbs are ridiculously clean. Trust me. Ultrasonic. Welder tip cleaner. Sea foam often. I re-filter my own fuel at home even.
I’m not tuning for power. I’m tuning for rideability. And I ask because experimenting is a pain because the 360 intake tube is very fragile at this age and I’d rather ask than mess around. Hoping to save taking the carbs off 10 times.
