    Success!

    Want thru the carbs again looking for clogs. Much garbage on the bottom of the bowls. Looks like I'm going to have to address the rust issue in the tank. Cleaned everything, idle screws weren't broke off thank God. Put in the 45 pilot jets, readjusted the idle mix screws, and was able to adjust the idle down to 1100rpm's. That's a first. Hopped on and found the missing bottom end power! Whoopie! Was able to spin the back tire with not problem, no dumping the clutch or other nonsense. Again a first! Looks like I'll speed up the buying of the new tires. Best of all no more glowing header pipes! Thanks for all the suggestions and help.

      Did you put inline filters on it?If you have junk coming in from the tank that will certainly stop most of it.Glad to hear you found the extra power.These things do have power dont they?

        Inline Filters

        Sure do. When I first put the fuel lines in I put in filters. I'm thinking I need better ones. The ones I have are the pancake type.
