    1979 GS550e withy a 1980 CV carb midrange question.

    You folks have really helped me move this bike from not starting to my first test ride. THANK YOU!

    am idling at 1.3k I had no issues until around 20 MPH down my driveway. (1000 foot driveway) The GS starts to bog down going any faster. The CV boots are good but I do suspect the 47.5 pilot jet is too large for a recommended 40. The head slides attached to the boot on #4 is a bit sticky. Ill need to polish it back up since the sonic solution tarnished it. (Probably a bad idea putting it in the sonic cleaner...) Has Air Pod filters that need to be upgraded. Before I switch to a smaller pilot jet do you recommend I look at anything else? The air mixture screws are 2.5 turns out. Am I running lean or rich?
