Just ANOTHER carb, jet, bike running poor thread----SORRY

[metcalfguitars]

Here we go again, sorry to bore you (yawn)........I've read all the threads I can find on it but here goes anyway:

07 Shineray Allroad 200
pushrod engine, 300 miles
UNI pod filter
needle all the way up (rich position)
drilled exhaust (4, 5/16" holes at exit)
Good pickup, running about 95% throttle (no tach) to get 55mph

THEN:
-replaced a 49 rear with the 46, front is 17

AND
-Stock 98 jet drilled to 106...too rich! Missing at WOT, very perky everywhere else

SO: 106 replaced with a 102, still rich! Fouled the stock plug with black soot while warming up the engine at idle while cleaning up tools. (BTW, the new jet is 4mm tall, the old jet was 3mm tall)

replaced the plug with a Autolite 4164 today and still rich a mid-throttle, lacks response, smells rich, Missed a little at WOT but not as bad as the 106.

Move the needle down?

put in a 98 jet?

Autolite plug?

Any qualified opinions? What works for you?


BTW, This forum ROCKS!
