ok i have mods listed in my sig with a 175main, needle clip 2nd postion from bottom and fuel screw 2.5 turns out.. i did a WOT test when i put the HMF full system on and plug seems tannd brown. i just pulled it out to check it last nite after some good hard riding and its REALLY dark, like as if it were running rich...should i go down to a 170 main...i think my elvation is like 800-100ft above sea level. and the jets im using are regular kehien jets...

Yuppers. Im runnin HMF full, 180 main, airbox lid on, otherwise my quad would drown. Removed the snorkel. Needle clip in the 2nd position. Also 42 pilot. RICH every where...... I was gonna drop to a Kehien 175, but if your rich....Maybe Ill just jump to 170.

Also my elevation is 350 ft. My screw is out like 3.5 turns, so thats gotta be turned in. When I remove my Lid, she runs like a raped ape! but pretty lean... I cant win. Ive never seen a tanned plug!!:devil: Its always lean or rich for me. Ive a UNI on the way, But I seriously doubt thats gonna affect it any.
