    You might try changing the float levels; that will richen/lean the carbs across all the circuits.

        Floats.

        I would agree with Steve on the float levels my bike wouldnt accel over 5k and it was runnin way too rich untill i adjusted my floats properly. I set mine to 25.5mm witch is right at 1inch. Fixed all my problems.
