The photos seem to show fuel level significantly higher on the left. BTW "grizzled" means "streaked with grey," which described my head back in 2004 (nearly all white now); no intended reference to bears.
You mentioned having UNI pods but not which style. Do you have the longer, full foam (on the ends too) type like this .....
Wow didnt think of that. I have the shorter ones with capped ends and they are soaked in a mix of 50/50. Should i try getting longer ones?
..... or the shorter style with the rubber end caps? Personally, I don't care for the shorter ones. They don't flow as much air obviously because they're shorter (smaller) but also because the ends aren't open too. In fact, a local guy installed them and we didn't need to do any jetting changes. That tells me they didn't increase the air flow much, if at all. If you have the short capped ones, maybe you could do some testing with them removed and see if that cures the richness at idle? The type of filter oil you use on these black foam pods can also have an effect. The normal foam filter oil is supposedly too thick and can clog them. The recommended oil is simply a 50-50 mix of gas and motor oil.

If fuel is level with the flange it's fine; must be the angle of the shot on the right hand carb that fooled me. Affirmative re. longer Uni pods; the more volume, the better. On vacuum carbs you'll get best results from a still air box with free flowing filter elements.
I know this is an very old thread but does any one know where to find a parts fiche for carb parts B-34's trying to be able to locate the rubber plugs talked about that go over the pilot jet opening (mine are missing)Yes, put those rubber plugs in or the bike won't run right (as you've noticed). Your pilot jets are sucking too much fuel without the plugs.
They're a little spendy, but Partzilla has 'em here.I know this is an very old thread but does any one know where to find a parts fiche for carb parts B-34's trying to be able to locate the rubber plugs talked about that go over the pilot jet opening (mine are missing)

The partzilla site doesn't show the parts easily so I can get some OEM parts if possible
The Partzilla fische was for an SG but it had no numbers to go along with the diagram (strange)
With the plugs missing it wouldn't have been part of the issue I have now but it is proof someone else has been in thereThe Partzilla fische was for an SG but it had no numbers to go along with the diagram (strange)

Scroll down the "Related Fitment" list Mikey. They're for your bike too.The Partzilla fische was for an SG but it had no numbers to go along with the diagram (strange)
Just so we're clear, are you referring to the rubber pilot jet plug inside the bowl, or the brass plug that covered the idle mix screw?With the plugs missing it wouldn't have been part of the issue I have now but it is proof someone else has been in thereView attachment 197367
