+1 on the #48 slow jet. Just think if you didn't have carbs you'd be spending hundreds of dollars on all these fancy FI tuners .

+2 on the #48 low speed jet. mine had a #45 in it and would pop and fart at stop lights, plugs looked good. Had it dynoed and put the #48 in it, problem solved. I never cared much about fuel mileage, when the tank is empty my ars is usually sore!!! Control the fuel mileage with your right hand...
