I have been having a heck of a time with these carbs and the running of my bike. I had a crazy post a year go about how the vent in my gas cap sent me down a rabbit hole that took months to resolve. Recently I have had a similar problem caused by me due to the collapse of the fuel line T mod I installed years ago. Essentially, the bike was running on one cylinder due to lack of fuel on the right side. Found it and fixed it.
In the meantime, I have cleaned and cleaned and futzed with these carbs for weeks. Once I found the problem and fixed it, I returned my jetting to what it was prior to the craziness, remounted the carbs for the umpteenth time and the bike fired up and acted perfectly normal...except the idle is at 2K and would not change with the air mix screw.
I am at 132.5 mains, needle at 1/2mm shim, pilot 42.5 and 135 air jet. The question is whether going up in size on the pilot will help to take the idle down, or should I look to some other screw up I might have done when I split the carbs to insert the new T?
I also recently installed Hugh's new CDI system, which I probably didn't need to do, but I was chasing rabbits.
Any advice other than to reinstall the original ignition would be most appreciated.
