Installed new carb and got a free toolbox. - Page 2

Agreed. Keep moving up one notch at a time, until you run out of adjustment. The notches in the needle are meant to affect mid-range, so keep an eye on that.

I bone head moved it up again. The middle was perfect I had the choke on half for that test ride when it was running rich at full throttle, realized it went for another ride ran the best it ever has.

Weldangrind · 11-20-2015, 10:54 AM

Glad to hear that. Are there any further issues?

TXDSRIDER · 11-20-2015, 10:57 AM

Nope, went on another ride last night and it is running very strong has more pull in the upper RPMs then it did when stock.

Weldangrind · 11-20-2015, 11:39 AM

Awesome! Any further mods planned?

Just put on some blue aluminum valve stem caps....lol
I have some soft luggage on the way, an led headlight bulb and led flood light, bar risers and longer folding shifter. I really want to do some suspension work but I'm stuck on that because of knowledge.

I posted a link on the other thread for possible rear suspension. Could you share a link to the led headlight you purchased please. I would like to do the same.

It's a little mor than some of the others but by far the best reviewed.

Awesome. Thanks. Please let me know of any issues or concerns once your install is complete.

I'm thinking of installing an aftermarket carb but i have one question what do you do about the hose running from the crankcase to the air box when you no longer have an airbox??

I installed one of these using a barb connector and a hose clamp.

thanks but what did you do about the other hosing that was connected to the airbox from the crankcase or engine?? Is there just an open hole there now?
