Carbs gummed

On my stock 2G B6, I shimmed the needles 0.5mm, drilled the pilot plugs and set the pilot jets at 2-3/4 turns out. Still stock mains.

A definite improvement in mid range and roll on performance. Well worth doing.

If your considering an aftermarket exhaust, it's almost a necessary change to put in a jet kit. Both Holeshot and Ivan's appear to have had good success with guys here.

Well I got Dale's Stage 1 kit with 5° ignition advance and today I will install.  Hopefully all goes well.  I'm sure I'll have a few fits but the directions seem pretty straight forward so maybe it will be a tad easier than I expect it to be.

His directions claim you can take the carb bank off and swing it up onto the motor top w/o removing the cables and taking it off the bike completely.  Anyone ever try this method?  I'll give it a shot but since I intend to clean them most likely they're coming off the bike.

I also got the carb sync package he sells.  Looks pretty straight forward, we'll see.
