[QUOTE="ekvh, post: 153238, member: 1179"] Still trying to get mine right. I think I had it pretty perfect, but noticed I had s bad leak at the base of the intake filter. Fixed the leak- wrecked the jetting. I am trying to just change one jet at a time to see what truly works. It's so tempting to change a couple, but you never know how each affects it. I have it close, but no cigar. I have been reducing the air jets in my primary and it has shifted my missing to lower rpm, and gotten rid of most of the deceleration backfiring. I was up to a 150 air jet with my 70 primary jet, but down to 130 now, and tomorrow I'll try it back to stock 120 air jet. Main is still 130 with a 90 air jet. Acceleration feels good and plug color is good. It's just my midrange that is off. If the 120 air doesn't help it, I may try a washer under the needle? I don't feel confident in messing with the needle shape. Any advice welcome. If I don't take your advice, just tell yourself, "He's stupid." [/QUOTE]
