Now I am at a complete loss.... 4 Years, 8 Months ago  
Ready to pull my hair out. I have followed a lot of the advice found here and with great success. One exception though.....I cannot resolve the issue of the carb bowl running out of gas faster than it can get it in the WOT test (or even high-moderate acceleration). I have double, triple and more checked everything I can. I have set the float level as reasonably high as humanly possible without flooding the engine. Before I decide to give up and go with a fuel pump config again (after far too much work), can you or anyone review what I have done, ask me questions, etc... to see what I have possibly missed? I know it is going to be something stupid on my part, but I think it is the forest for the trees thing on my part.

On a side note the mod for the PMS worked well. When this is all done, I will upload the pics. Used a pull choke cable from a local parts store and cut it to length and mounted it to the carb. Just need to make a bracket for the other end thus far. Jetting information worked out very well. Engine has never run so good before. I will know more when I can eventually do a WOT and final adjustments. As well the mod for porting the factory intake worked out extremenly well. Overall the bike has never idled so smoothly, never accelerated so well in first and second. Now if I could only get above second without that out of gas stumble.

BTW DocShadow, I like your site and the work you have done to your bike. Looked it over some. Gives me some desire to look at other mods for mine, but only after I get what I have started finished.
