My suggestion = narrow focus on specific throttle position to identify individual jet tuning.
Something else worth looking into is the float height. I noticed on my PE28FL that the float was set rather high. It would actually spit fuel out of the mouth if I cycled the throttle. Keihin's spec for the float height is 14mm on a PE carburetor, but I did my own digging and found that many other bikes that run PE's they set the floats to 18mm due to similar issues. This might be worth looking into, and could also explain that off idle bog.

I will agree with you on one thing about the flanged carbs in general, this or even the stock PZ carburetor. Removing the carb to change jets is really annoying. I 100% get your frustration. |
I did notice it spitting gas out of the intake of the carburetor while sitting in neutral and revving before I ever started messing with the Jets. Nothing comes out of the overflow, are you suggesting to lower the float level reducing the amount of gas in the bowl?
