XS650 Enthusiast
1978 XS650 with pod filters, straight pipes and bs38 Mikuni's. Just replaced pilot jets from stock 27.5 to 30, main jets from 135 to 140, upped the clip on the jet needle to the 2nd slot from the top, have the mixture screw out 2.25-2.5 turns and had the entire carb sonic bath cleaned.
Still getting studdering at higher speeds or 3/4+ throttle.
The manifold intakes aren't the newest and need to be changed most likely but I've sprayed with carb cleaner and no change rpm's.
Have plugs on vacuum petcock barbs with spring wire clips to hold them on.
Get a hint of popping letting off the throttle occasionally.
Bigger mains or pilots or both?
A little bit of gas is leaking from left float bowl when not running but I've got new gaskets on the way.
Please advise. Thanks.
