Hey all, New to xs 650 community. I have been bobbing out an 81 & using the this forum as a GREAT resource,,Thanks...Question, I have Mikes XS pod's straight pipes with the 1/4 inch washer bolt weld in the pipes for min back pressure. I have cleaned & re cleaned the carbs 34's, pulled the plug & turned out idle mix to 3 out. The bike starts, runs through the rpms GREAT, lots of pull. I did nothing to the main's or pilots & the plug's if anything look a bit on the rich side, some black on the hook & ring but the ceramic is brown..I drive it on the hard side, stop & go, not crazy by any means, but not afraid to get into the throttle (love the sound)..My long winded question/'s is, is my mpg acceptable, should I jet up..already seams rich which I don't understand I expected opposite with my Mods..Also I have Mike's High output coil & NGK #6 open to .035 Any thoughts? Thanks Tom
