So I've gotten my '83sk up and running nicely again. Was able to take it out for a solid 25 minutes uninterrupted around town a few times this week. I have noticed a massive flat spot around 1900-2400 rpms. It almost seems like its starving for gas! Ive been sifting through the Carb guide instead of paying attention in class and I have a few questions. I am thinking of installing the Jet Kit from Mikes XS that comes with #7F6 slide needles, #45 Pilot Jets and the 135 and 145 Main jets. I am also planning on chopping my exhaust to just around the rear break pedal and running the non tapered pods for intakes.
I see that the bs34s have a fixed slide needle, and mikes says to drill out the slide lift hole with a provided 3.0mm bit.... but how? That seems risky. I feel like, at the very least, I should try running the 45 pilots and the 145 mains and hopefully that increase in richness will carry the slides circuit before drilling it out.
The guide seems to say that upping the mains on the bs34s will help even if entirely stock, so with any mods to move up at least two sizes. Is a 145 with 45s and the #7F6 needle putting me in the too rich territory?
