I have the old needles back in with the old jets which are 130's, probably from a rebuild kit years ago. I have keep them matched (needle to jet) in all of the times they have been on my work bench. I know the top groove is a stretch, but the bike runs cleaner and has more response in that position. Just too darn RICH. I am trying to find some other carbs on e-bay, but the last second bidders have eaten me alive due to closing bid hours. I still have to work to support my motorcycle habit.

Britman- Before you spend a bunch of money, check with Loud Mouth (EMO) he probably has the carbs and you will know what you're getting. He may also have some tips for you. Good luck-CliffC

Cliff,

Have done so. He might be touchy about his name, so I am just sticking with LM. I am hoping the exorcism on this demon machine will begin shortly. Thanks Ed.
