First thing I notice was that the bike did not need to choke to star and I’ve read somewhere that Lancer made a comment about having to rich of a mix, I was able to fix that but it was running real rough and backfiring a lot, it had no power (acceleration) whatsoever.
Don't need choke to start, means pilot ok, I'd put that one back in.
Quote: OK, I went up on the main to 150 and the 55 pilot. Now it runs better (the engine seems to be smother) but still has no acceleration at all. I put the throttle down and it goes nowhere, it eventually gets to 50 or 55 but that’s it.
No accel, lean on the top end... can't get to 55. Go up on the main
Quote: Ah! I have a motorcycle mechanic that suggested that the air cone may be the culprit but, I reconnected the air box, and it still socks (performance).
after you get it to go 70, if it still lacks accel, do the white spacer mod.
check your pod filter, some narrows down where it sits and blocks the intake to the slide.
