If you have to choose, in an imperfect world, be a shade rich over a shade lean.

Here's some useful info:

Check the hight speed jet, it should be 170 to start. Run the bike and check the plugs. Black, too rich, needs a smaller jet, white, too lean, needs a bidder one. The plugs should be brownies grayish.

Thanks for the info, stopped on my way home and got a #44. I will run with that for a little and check the plugs.

Well now days you can return anything. At least you know what you have now. You may want to inspect the needle and see what one you have. It may have washers on it also. Clean it up. Check float level and put it back together.
Edit: Also pop the cap off the idle mixture screw if it isn't already gone. It sounds as if someones been there before.

You have the right jets, although the 175 may be a little fat but it's not causing the problem you describe. How many turns out is the idle mixture screw? The #45 won't matter if the screw is too far in.
Also, check the accelerator pump.

Put a 48 in there. I'll ride around for a couple days then check the plugs. I let it warm up and rode it around the neighborhood and it didnt stumble or cough like it did before. Thanks for all the help guys, I appreciate it.
