    You've got the 80/81 carbs, idle screws should be around three turns out. You'll need to re-sync as soon as you move them again.By reducing the float height it should make more gas go into the bowl befre the fuel valves close so it should be richer

      Ray, that looks like the smart move. 1mm of float height equals, what about 2 1/2mm fuel level. I think I'll go to 21mm, get her running (fingers crossed), then check plugs to verify.

        Hey, when you get it running well, try and make it out to the Coast for the Dream Machines! We need a few more XS1100 this year! Last year, it was Ed on my Midnight, and this year it will at least be Ed and I on our own bikes! April 27, 28. $30 for BOTH days, with one guest if you show the bike. I know you and SWMBO would like it.
