Ok, I know the idle adjustment is the large screw/knob on the side of the carb. What is the small one right beside it facing the same way, right by teh choke lever? A friend of mine has been telling me that is the fuel/air screw, but I am sure that one is on the bottom of the carb, correct? And just for clarification, the fuel/air screw controls what? He says it controls the mixture all across the board. I am told by others it controls the mixture from idle to like 1/8 open or 1/4 open throttle. What is the setting for this air/fuel screw? I noticed the small screw on the side of the card right next to the idle adj. is screwed all teh way in, and when it is opened, gas comes from the overflow tube. Is that all this controls?
And one more, what compression is race gas required? I have an 11:1 piston stock bore in mine. Is a jetting change required (larger) to run race gas, or a 50/50 mix of 113 and pump premium?
I ask all of this as I just got back from a weekend trip to Silver Lake, adn found the bike to be running quite a bit hotter than normal. I went up from a 155 mj to a 160 while I was there. Oil level was fine, I run the Mobil 1 15-50. The only other thing I could think of it being (as I was on my way home) was maybe a valve out of adjustment? It started up just fine everytime, ran good, but was just alot hotter than normal, enough of a difference so I could feel it on my leg through my jeans. I run the Geckos in the sand, and changed to a 13 tooth front sprocket, if it matters any.
Any suggestions/help would be appreciated. Thanks guys!
