Sure there's a learning curve, Dogger. You flatten it out by doing your homework. I'm trying to give guys a realistic idea of what they can expect to deal with. BTW I know who Bob and Paul Bertaut are, and the more I see of what they claim and the way they do business, the less impressed I get. If your motor says the jets are wrong and Bertaut says the jets are right, believe your motor.
I don't mind helping somebody who gets lost in a carb job, as long as he's made an effort to help himself first. One of the things I noted in the VM section of the Carb Guide is that float level needs to be inspected and set at the git-go. In VM's this is done at the float arms where the float pins contact them. Specs are in the Sudco Mikuni Tuning Manual, and a Google search will also turn them up. If the off-idle stalling can't be cured by adjusting float level and air screws, you'll need to bump the PJ's a step. Now--what needles and needle jets did Bertaut stick in there?
