New carbs on 175

Yesterday I fired up the 175 with the 24mm Keihins and WOW, what a difference. My driveway is too short to ride it on and the hay field was pretty wet so my testing consisted of calling my buddy Joe so he could hear it run over the phone.
Hawk school tomorrow will be a good shakeout.
Right now I have the 100 main jets and needles 2nd clip up from the bottom. Didn't get the airscrew adjusted at all- just 1 turn out from the bottom.
Scott/JohnnyB what are you guys running?

Looking forward to it!
The Dennis Kirk catalogue has a full size run of these jets so I have a few different ones to try. The new Dunlops need to be scuffed in and I hope to have fine German twin to (gently) break in for the morning session.
Hope I can sleep tonight!

I started off the 1st session with the 100 mains and it ran great. Switched to 102.5 and it wouldn't pull and lost about 2k on the tach. Put the 100s back in and ran great the rest of the day. I could even stay with slower CB350s.
Those Dunlops are the nuts.

Fun riding with you even though it was short

I put these on because the angle of the carbs made the round straight ones hang out where my knees hit them.
Good tip on the Moroso's though.

I used the oil but only one little thingey for both filters. On the advice offered by people here though I am leaving the ones on other bikes alone and not re-oiling them.
