Hey fellas. .
So, the bike is running pretty smooth, on the good days it starts just about 1st kick , and idles pretty decent, however, I got a few questions on a few gremlins..
1. My idle is a bit high, when cold... And it doesn't seems as though the air mixture screw is doing much. The idle slows down a tad when it warms up.
2. When it's hot, when I twist the throttle to accelerate off idle, I have little/no power and it sounds like its just sucking in air .. But once it revs past about 2k it's strong running. Top end power is good.
Now I don't believe I'm running lean. I don't have any problems with backfiring from either the carbs or exhaust, so I'm a bit lost... Maybe it's something simple? Will a pilot jet that's slightly too big raise my idle ? I can't imagine it being too too far from the correct pilot jetting...

VM34 w/ 27.5 Pilots
Needle Clip is at the Leanest setting
Thanks my guys!
