I took my carbs apart today to start cleaning them. A couple of things became apparent. The carbs were progressively less dirty from right to left. That is, the carb closet to the clutch was most dirty and the one closet to the brake was cleanest.
Two of the carbs were very gummed up and the jets were clogged. When I first got this bike running it felt very sluggish. I imagine that the carbs were a big issue. Also, there were a few rubber gaskets on different screws that were dry rotted and the #3 carb was missing a spring for one screw. I am thinking about a carb rebuild kit to clean up the dry rot and I think i'll need to re-jet.
I live at 7000ft and am putting a 4-1 kerker exhaust and k&n pod air filters on it.
Is there a way to tell what size jets I have in it now?
Does anyone have any suggestions for jet sizes to try for the kerker, pod, 7000ft combination?
