    I have read that before and found it very helpful - thanks for the reminder of the site....so to make sure i got this right, if i adjust the idle mixture and according to previous link, I may not need to rejett but if i do you recommend starting with 45 and not 48?

    yes - the EZ - adjust screw.....idle seems okay - rode about 12 miles yesterday - throttle responce was good....when i let off - there was a quiet muffled sound in the exhaust - plan to ride to work in the morning and check plugs (put in new yesterday) when i get home - about 40 miles round trip plus 12 yesterday - hope that will give me a good indication of jetting

    So far all you adjusted was the idle mixture?? That's the way to go...one change at a time...

    First make sure the EZ-just is screwing in all the way (seating) before counting the amount of turn out. There have been a couple of reports over the years of some carburetors with looser threads than normal. Typically the spring will apply enough tension to the screw to keep it from coming loose, just make sure you didn't lose the spring. If you have concern that the screw is very loose I recommend wrapping the screw threads with a couple of turns of plumbers teflon tape. This will give it a snug fit and prevent it from wandering.
