Thank you 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I would like to thank Curt and Erbman.

Curt
Thank you for posting the info on your web site about how the carbs on these bikes work, been every informative.

Erbman
Thank you for you Stop thread, actually made me stop and think for a minute. I was thinking and A$$ U ME ing that my bike was running rich because almost everything at my altitude runs rich and I was seeing soot in the pipes. After reading the info from Curt on how all the circuits work it looks like it is actually lean on the pilot jet do to exhaust popping and backfiring on dec,(no AIS) and good on the needle.

I do have one question and I forgot to take a picture, I hace an adjustment knob under the air cleanner that runs up to the lower right side of the carb. I remember seeing a pic of it on here but I can not find it now, it that an extension for the PMS? If so where is the idle adjustment screw?

Thank you again
Jim

thats the idle adjuster under the filter. Works hand in hand with pilot screw for idle adjustment. Seems quite a few tend to forget about it and try to adjust the pilot screw to set idle. This is why I say to start at "X" turns out, ride for 15, 20min then adjust idle. Adjustments are based off a fully warmed engine.
