1980 gs1000e,,,, still fluttering mid range .....

[Guest]

well guys ,,,my needle is set at the 3rd clip position from bottom ,on my aussie cv carbys ... my pilot is 42.5... but i think i may have gone overboard on the main jet as it went from 107.5 [108} to 117.5 ,,,so in the near future i will be getting a set of 110 and 112.5 as a spare set ,, at the cost of them it worth having spares for a rainy day ,,, i did fiddle with the mixture screws ,,, but it did seem to start of and idle on about 2 turns ,,once you bottom out the screws gently and then re-adjust them ,, i did try it 3-4 times ,,, ,, any great ideas would be appreciated ,,as i,m keen to be riding him ,,,.... an old guy in town he,s 81 and into fords ,,,, suggested that i should take it out to a dirt track between a couple of farmes in the district and lean it up against a tree .. hopefully somebody might steal it for me ,,, but i said NO although i am insured with SHANNONS ,,, regards oldgrumpy
