[QUOTE="bmetcalf, post: 145332, member: 792"] Progress to report! My bike would start, but would barely run and I want to leave on Sunday morning for the North American Rally. All the above float bowl business is on the rear carb, so I thought that I would re-clean the front carb. Well, when I unscrewed the nut that holds the float bowl to the carb, the pilot jet/main jet were loose in the nut cavity. I tightened it back up, started the bike and rode up and down my street. Runs like it should! Idling fine, but not taking throttle was a big clue that the needle jet had a problem. Can't imagine how I didn't properly tighten the needle jet into the jet block. [/QUOTE]
