so i followed this tech guide and i think i got it but i'm only at about 1/2 turn out and i'm still running rich. i have mikes xs pods and original exhaust with baffles out. my jets are two sizes up from stock. When i turned the mixture screw out 1.5 turns it idle really rough so that said I started at .75 turns out and i'm now at 1/2 turn out and it is creating black plugs even with BP6ES any idea???? the vin is 447-107453 so i take it it is a 75'( .75 turns out from seat) and i believe the carbs are 77'??
"Warm the engine to operating temperature, then raise the idle to around 1500 rpm. On
bikes with breaker point ignitions, pull off a sparkplug cap. Adjust the throttle stop to
hold lowest steady idle, then move the fuel screw 1/4
turn each way, seeking highest idle. When you find the direction of improvement, set the
screw 1/8 turn in that direction from your starting point and again move it 1/4 turn each
way. As idle rises, lower it with the throttle stop, as changes are easiest to detect at low
engine speeds. Set the screw at the inmost (leanest) position that yields highest idle
speed. (And yes, I know; some owners advocate finding the point where idle drops due
to leanness, then the point where it drops due to richness, and setting the screw at the
center point. I do not concur.) Repeat for the other cylinder."
