ok went and did it, looking at the bottom of the carb and the four philips heads have been removed at some point as they were a little tore up, I think flash mentioned that, now when I get that chamber off what should I be looking for then numbers or what??????

From the tech tips article I think what I am looking at is the main jet and it has a 175 on it only one with a number that I can see

This is a picture of the stock Mikuni 182.5 jet and stock needle I took out of mine. All Mikuni jets have that little box marking on them, so I'd guess you have Dynojet jets in there. If you look at the jet comparison chart in the Tech Articles section here, a DJ 175 is WAY leaner than the stock jet. The DJ 175 is what I'm running to compensate (lean it out) for my 6,700 ft. altitude.

The stock needle is fat and only has one groove as you can see. what does yours look like?
