Help Another PMS Question 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Just making some adjustments on the PMS I can turn it complete off (Clockwise) before it does anything to the Idle it seem like some must be not right or is that the way the pms works and I can turn it to 5 turns out (counter clockwise) and nothing happens?

For some reason mines not that sensitive either. I run 2 to 2.5 turns out. I can turn it all the way in and not notice a huge difference. I don't get backfiring or anything else.
But the bike runs good...

It'll show up eventually on your plugs. Too far out = too rich and fouling plugs. Too far in = too lean and almost white plugs. It all depends on your jetting, porting, air cleaner and heavy throttle hand. IMHO.

You may be turning it too fast .... turn it 1/2 turn at a time and take a break ... have a sip of beer.
