yeah, I got all the tabs in the correct spot. was real careful about all that. reelthing, you seem to on the money. I dialed out 2-3/8's, and she seems to be running better. Have to go party with the friends now, it is sat night! Will try and do a real fine tune tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

if you @ 2-3/8's your getting out to where a one up on the pilot jet makes sense @ 3 or bit before the mixture screw stops doing much of anything - might consider thinning the spacer a bit more

were you able to lay hands on the stainless hex key bolts for the carb ?

and be sure the clamps on both sides of the carb are tight you need a good seal

So I guess I was at 2, maybe 2 & 1/8. I went to get some replacement bolts, but freaking Lowe's didn't have any short enough. The had some m8s, but all were too long. Gonna go to home depot today.

They didn't have any #4 washers either, nor could the girl in the hardware dept. help me at all. Not a big shocker. I just got fed up and left.

So she's still bottoming out. It's starting to get really annoying, not to mention dangerous. (down shift and hold the clutch in for a turn, and dead bike) Apparently YonuhAdisi is having the same problem. KwakNut and Reelthing both suggested the idle mixture screw (thanks for the input, guys) , which I've been messing with for the last week, and still haven't found the "sweet spot". The only things I changed were the main jet (145-150), and the spacer (took a little more than a third off, just a bit more than half left). She's desnorkeled and has a screaming eagle, if that helps. I'm gonna try putting a washer under the spacer to bring it back up a little. Anybody have any suggestions?

I know am no longer have that problem (so far anyway).

What I did was take the carb apart again and used some fine emery cloth the sand the slide lengthwise then shot the snot out of it with carb cleaner. I also completely removed the pilot air screw o-ring and all and re-installed it to be sure everything was seating correctly.

I still get a backfire on shut down (sounds like a weak black cat fire cracker going off) but decel doesn't have nary a one. I can now even fire the bike up without even touching the throttle and it idles without holding the throttle open until it warms.
