[QUOTE="AFM744, post: 289751, member: 27214"] Strick- The bike didn't "stumble", it just wouldn't make any damn power down low. When it was right I could lug it pretty low in the revs in second (14/50 sprockets) and the motor would just hunker down and the power pulses would become nice, crisp punches forward with the exhaust note slowing to a distinct series of pow-pow-pows in my right ear. After the a/p change I mentioned (setting a delay) the revs would drop down below the midrange and just get all mushy, no more torque. So I'd flog the clutch and WAAAAA the thing would take off again. Unfortunately during that a/p modification I also raised my float level from 10 to 11 mm in an effort to quell the overflow, hoping to help my fuel efficiency, and of course I changed THAT back too, so I won't know whether it was the a/p or the float level that messed up my bottom end. My most important priority when I go riding for the day is that I can RIDE for the day, and mess with it again afterwords. I have little interest in tearing off my carb in the dusty, windy creekbed at Carnegie while I try different settings, though it really is the ONLY way to see what works; back to back. I'm gonna start hassling Bob (Old Stroker) for the needles he's raving about now. He called me last week to tell me I won't WANT a 454 kit after I try his new magic needle-of-the-week. I'll believe it when I ride it.;) [/QUOTE]
