I've been reading the carb guide, following this thread, and it playing with my carbs trying to get them right.
BS38, new carb holders, no leaks in diaphragm, clean, open baffled pipes, pods.
Stock it won't run off idle, so I put the 145/50 in because that's what was in my other carbs. I was peeling out and running good until one of the plugs started fouling out. So after reading here I thought I was way too big.
So I went down to 137.5/30 and it has a huge flat just off idle. Dropped the needle one and that made the flat spot go away but now it won't idle. Went up to 35 and 45 but that just makes things worse. There is a ton of gas going in. The plug that was fouled is now washed and gas is coming out the exhaust pipe.
It seems that it should have had way too much fuel when I was at 145/50, but it was running good until it was a bit rich on one side.
Anyway, I'm still reading and working on it to get it running right again. I'll work on it some more next weekend after Christmas. I can't wait to go riding.
