[QUOTE="nephron, post: 580809, member: 23759"] Tom, don't be silly--you don't need an aftermarket filter. I started running noticeably fat down low once, and kept working on the air screw until I had it turned out so far it almost fell out. :o --obviously, only to realize the pilot circuit was gunked up. Use about a 1/4 to 1/3rd of a can of carb cleaner through your circuits, CONFIRM YOUR FLOAT HEIGHT (mine was set too high from the factory, which floods the piss out of the bike--guess they do that by either mistake, OR to make your bike run rich until broken in, at which time you finally figure it out... :| ), REPACK YOUR SILENCER, use HIGH QUALITY FUEL and don't go 50:1 or 60:1 like many (which will richen air:fuel ratio)--use 32:1-40:1 only. And in the end, if you can't get the pilot circuit set at less than 2.5 turns out--you'll need to either clean the pilot circuit again or use a smaller pilot. Stay focused and have a plan, and you'll get there. Too many variables changed at once will serve only to confuse you, as these things are pretty sensitive to jetting changes. You WILL get it cleaned up--these things actually do run right when they're set up properly. Took me a long time to learn. [/QUOTE]
