Eric,

Thanks for your comments.  I'm by no means looking for that "magical" answer, nor do I expect, or want, someone to tell me exactly what jets to install so's I can beat my buds - although that is always the ultimate goal.

My goal is, using my bike as my example, to learn how to properly jet a bike utilizing the many variables involved to their fullest potential.  In the past I've always equated carb tuning/operation to being proficient at stirring up evil spirits in some sort of voodoo ritual.  I figure that after 25 years of riding dirt/street bikes - that it is time to finally begin understanding how these things work.  So far, no voodoo has been required.

I enjoy your articles and have gathered much information on the function and mechanical operation of carbs and bikes in general.  I look forward to Saturday morning when I can get out my toolbox, various jets, stack of new plugs, etc., and begin the process of marking the throttle positions and working through each circuit to get to where the bike wants to be for optimal stoicimetric harmony. ;)

Best Regards and thanks for your response,
Mike
