So now that the snow is disappering...I have been riding/tuning the bike a bit.
I mentioned earlier that I moved the E clip on the carb needle down a couple notches...this is where is runs the best. I tried each notch, and the middle one is where it likes it. I have also played with the air screw each time I switched notches.
But the problem is still there, not as bad...but still noticable. I also mentioned that the sputter was happening between idle and 1/4 throttle. Well its actually between idle and maybe 1/16 throttle! It happens just as I open the throttle the slightest amount.. But as soon as I open it any further it runs GREAT!!! and idles great to.
What should I try next? new needle?
