Pins and Needles

Today after thinking more about the carb issue, I decided to check the position of the carb needles. Now the bing book according to Paul suggest setting the needles at position three which is clicking the needle all the way up the diaphragm tube.

I removed the carb tops but left the cable sin tact, diaphragms look ok at a macro level. The needle positions were the same, but they were set to position two in the middle. Given this bike has a K&N filter someone might have set these to "rich", I think.

Anyway I went ahead and put the needles back to position three, and we will see how the bike runs for awhile in that position, will check plugs in a couple of weeks for color, etc.
