First I'll adjust the afr screw and if that does not work the jetting will be swapped. For anyone else with a bike in this year range and a carb, what jetting are you running, and how many turns out do you have on your afr screw? I think mine is at 2 or 2.5 right now which should be optimum but it most definitely is not. The only other thought I have is that the intake manifold gaskets could be shot which is very possible as the gas mileage is far from great with the current setup and i would think it is running way rich but the plugs say different.

Once again hindsight is 20/20 as I should have changed the intake manifold gaskets while I had the tank off. I even have the gaskets already.
dont know what gear drive cams i have as po put them in , but im running 200 main and 48 slow , stock is 190 and 45 , air fuel is 2 1/4 out .
what happenend to painting the inside of pipes with ceramic coat to cut down heat ?

The jet hot is still an option. Maybe I do have stock jets then. Hmmm. I'll have to pull it apart again make sure I remembered the jet numbers correctly. I think a twist on the afr screw will help too. Thanks for the info.

That is an option as well. The jet hot is pricey. Not sure how much of the inside of the thunderheader I can get to with a spray can as it is all one piece unlike your pipe. Thoughts?

There is an idea. I'll have to figure something out as this pipe gets hot. Maybe this will work.
