im still breaking the engine in now, i'v set the valves per stock settings, is this the correct settings? (.004 & .005). i installed a hotcam 2 in my 400ex. next question is, when im letting off the gas, it seems to backfire just a little, should i lower the clip to raise the needle? right now i have a 40 pilot and 170 main, with my choke removed. im at sea level. any help is apreciated....
