Message: <blockquote data-quote="krakum1967" data-source="post: 125411" data-attributes="member: 3691">The carb was mounted straight out of the box.  I have done nothing, no wiring or anything with the choke and it does hold the butterflies closed when cold and open slightly when warm, so the starvation makes sense.  That is why I intend to disco it.  I am pulling the carb, I need to redo the plate, mine is too lightweight.  I will have to get one milled, I suck at it.  It is leaking. So I want to remove the choke or set it to manual if possibleI found other leaks, but repaired them. The manifold is sealed, perfectly, so I need to not disturb the runner and handle the adjustments.On the air/idle, generally speaking and depending on the bike, I turn them out to 1.75 to 2 turns out?  And what about the fastest rpm method? Can you send me a link to read up on?CAn I use wood for that plate?  A nice oak or would I use a softer wood?Would timing have anything to do with it, I need to double check that, come to think of it I should check that.I read the plugs, the are gray but on the dark side, but the edges are white, and the electrode is a nice grey white.  Definitely not wet.  I also did a change on the Number 3 runner and noted the moisture in the runners.  Darn near dry, just a little mist on the walls, but compared to the other unit, it would be dripping gas by the time I finished a run.Anyway, the color of the plug is okay, I would like to see it slightly more gray bt they are burning.  Anyway, you are right Joe, its air starved below 2000 rpm.</blockquote>
