    One carb very lean, the other not

    Hi,
    My carb saga continues...but it is getting better. So with the addition of pods and an exhaust I have done some rejetting. Now it runs better than before (still not awesome but whatever...) but I'm have encountered a new problem. The right clyinder seems to be running very lean. The ground electrode on the right spark plug has a white residue on it. I'd like to mention that i can scrape this white off with my finger nail. Also, I noticed that upon immediately starting the bike, the right cylinder exhaust heats up much faster than the left. I have adjustable slide needles, should I lower the right side needle? It seems like a bad idea to me to have the needles adjucted differently on each carb. Should I screw with the pilot air screw? They are both at 3.5 turns out. My intake boots and filters are in great shape by the way. ANy comments are appreciated.

    Have the valves been adjusted and the carbs synchronized?

      Are both float heights the same and correct?

        Aha! Two valid inquiries! I'll check my float heights and valves tonight. The carbs have not been synched. Do I need some sort of air flow meter (rotameter type thing) to synch them? Thanks guys
