Grounding one plug at a time.I found that when I got them right they would be much smoother and stronger transitioning from idle circuit to high speed circuit. Big difference on any standing start.That is the only complaint I have with my Goldwing motor. Idle is ok but not great and very chunky at low rpm when a load is presented engaging clutch. Runs great at slightly higher rpms and going into the power curve. Smooth and strong. Think think Ill give a shot at pulling out the screws, shooting some cleaner in there and even a wire. Carbs were absolutely gunked up when I tore them down. I know I ran cleaner and forced air into them. Maybe one is clogged.I absolutely thought about setting at 3 turns and forgetting but there is nothing better than a dialed in motor to make you smile!</blockquote>
