So I've been snooping around on here for some time and can't seem to come across too much info on an 83 400 maxim.
I have full straight pipes and pod filters.
When I have initially went to straight pipes I had the bike running good by going up to 127.5 main jets. And playing with mix screws
Now that I have added the pods and switched to 137.5 main jets
Now I can't get past 8k rpm and also have a nasty dead spot around 4500.
I see a lot of things saying to raise the needle with the clip. My carbs don't have a clip and I'm not familiar with upswing washers to raise the needle. Also hoping some one to give me a base line to start messing with the pilot jets at.
Thanks for any help
