Because I have a 40 mm PWK and it seems to like a 35 pilot and a 158 mean? Should I be going up on the pilot? I know there’s tons of info out there I just wanted to get your opinion

Depends on the year, for a pre 90, this is stock (almost)
I don't have a stock carb and I run a 5K needle. I sure that doesn't anything to you.
you don't have a stock carb, so I don't know what you'll run.
If it starts and runs good... and you have good mpg, that's great. Don't F it up.

Plug looks a shade lean, what color is your header? What's your mpg? How wide's your grin?

Grin is pretty wide…lol…
At the risk of sounding like a bonehead, how do you guys time yourselves I mean I don’t have a Dyno in my backyard. I mean I know when she’s running like crap and when she’s not. like drag bike Mike, he’s posting about you know second gear gains of .33 seconds. I was just curious on how One could time themselves. I mean last time I checked it takes two hands to operate the bike let alone introduce a stopwatch
