Back to the drawing board.

Took the bike out yesterday for an afternoon of sightseeing and spent about 4 hours on it. Well the highway to one of my destinations was mostly long drawn out hills. I thought the carb was on point but I discovered it's still pulling slightly better at 3/4 to 7/8 throttle than what it is at wide open throttle!

So when I got back to my area I did 2 speed runs on the flat straight stretch by the river. And sure enough, at WOT I got 63mph on the GPS and at 3/4 I got almost 66mph. And you can feel the bike pick up and gain power as you let off WOT. This is frustrating to say the least.

Do I actually have to go smaller than a 110 main jet? I do have the other 2 circuits running really rich, so maybe the sum of all 3 is a little too much? And I really don't wanna change the other 2 circuits because it's starting and idling great and has never pulled this hard up to 3/4 throttle, and it's running cooler with no popping on deceleration.

I'm hoping Dan and Jerry will chime in and give me their $0.02.
