I would take the main jet out and clean it before doing anything else.

I'd pull the main jet and drop out the needle jet that the main screws into as that has many small holes that could be plugged and it and the needle jet control your mid throttle fuel.

Re: vandalised savage Reply #22 - 08/01/16 at 07:10:57 If you don't check out the fuel Level in the bowl you're not gonna really know much. You can pull the fuel line off the carb and check out the flow rate. Compare the fuel delivery rate of prime position and run. The bike Will idle a long time on just a full bowl. Does it start up and run okay for a minute or so, then start acting up?

it starts up and runs fine, its not till i open the throttle it starts to splutter.
let the throttle off n a few seconds later it idles fine without dying.
the fuel flow rate is good, when ive taken the bowls off theve been full of fuel even if the bike spluttered to a standstill. it seems to be getting fuel to the carb no problem, its just not reving without coughing n spluttering. it was running almost perfect the last time i rode it

So, you have a cone filter, not the stock airbox arrangement?
You can run the bike for a short period with the filter off, just be sure to not allow anything to get injested through the carb except air!!

You will be able to see the slide move up (if it is working right) when you open the throttle.

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut between the seat and the handlebars. Make sure yours isn't too tight or too loose.
