got the bike and it had been sitting for long time- ran like shit. Cleaned out carbs really good. There were gold needles , but I replaced them back to stock needles. Pilot jet had no markings on it, so after some research, I started at 30. Bogged off throttle and wanted to die as I unscrewed air mix screw. At .5 turns it idles and revved a little better, so I went up to 32.5 pilot and at about 1.5 turns right now. Main jets were 340. Needle on 2nd clip from top. At sea level.
when coming off throttle, it struggles a little/ wants to stall, but runs great when past that point. If I give it a good rip down the street, when I get to a higher gear/rpm and pull in clutch, the bike will stall.
carbs are synced with sync tool, and carbs are rebuilt with float height about 21mm both sides.
