I didnt mean to make light of your troubles, I just didnt know the answer to Bucking & I really dont know what you meant by PMS. No one else has asked, so I guess I am overlooking something simple.
But, since bucking isnt part of the norm for these bikes, I would suggest finding & solving that before adding any variables into, like mods to the carb. Sometimes a simple mod can leave a little gremlin to find & the more changes made at one time, the more complicated it can be. There are some real carb knowledgeable folks here who can listen to the problem & if it occurs at a certain RPM range, they will know what circuit in the carb needs checked.
I hope your wife reads the responses that address the problem & learns a bit, so you can work together & learn & have fun.
I know Ill be following this thread, because this type of problem can be tricky to find.
