mru, your 79' 4-1, K&N, here's the setup I ran on a 78' with a 4-1, K&N. Emulsion tubes 266 x 4, needles 5GZ6 x4 middle notch, pilot jets 42.5- 45 range, main jets 140-142.5 range, the idle screws around 3 turns out or just enough to darken the plugs somewhat after idling for a while, float height 25mm, should run well
