It WAS so I thought EUREKA - so I fixed it and it did produce better mid-range power, but still dies a WOT.

Yes but I fixed mine and it did the same things as before so I cut one from a cereal box and I sealed it on both sides and it stopped. I had removed the manifold to work on the engine and broken the seal when I reinstalled it I didn't use gasket seal so it had a leak somewhere from not being sealed. it might seem that I have had about everything go wrong with mine because I DID

The possibility exists that it is leaking....I'll get some gasket material tomorrow.

But also I do want to try the lean groove on the needle first.

If neither of those things work, I'll open the carb back up and check the float needle...

I'm really starting to think it just may be a high RPM spark problem......

OR that somehow my needle and jet fit are just defective. It's always done this even though I've rode the bike I never went full throttle without the booooooooggggggggg.....I just stayed away from that region, so to speak.

I will take the carb off again after I try the lean clip position.

I will measure the jet size.......

Just so anyone reading this thread knows - I solved this problem with a new $22 same as carb and have yet to determine what was wrong with the old carb.
