Just got this thing broken in. I went through and did some mild porting, and cut the notch in the skirt on the intake side of the piston. I also shaved the head a little with sandpaper on glass. X-Port with stock exhaust, billet intake with o-rings, cone air filter. Oh, and and an NT velocity stack.
Out of the four notches on the needle, the second from the bottom makes it run and go fantastic, but the sucker won't idle. Moved the clip up one (richer) and it idles beautifully, but sputters at WOT/max RPM.
I did go one stage richer from stock on the main jet. All it did was reverse the symptoms. Either I can rev like a champ, and hold my thumb on the throttle to keep it running, or go one notch down and it'll idle all day.
Crazy thing is that the plug chops are all Hershey's favorite color, no white ash, no fouling.
I am running a thumb throttle, but the slider moves as it should.
Vacuum leaks have been checked with carb cleaner.
**PS** overall, since getting it broken in and polished, this is the only issue I have.
Also.... I have been trolling y'all for months, finally threw my hat in.
