How much power loss might an improperly jetted carb that is ditty and needs cleaned and needke setting and air fuel settings that are not correct be having? And if corrected carb cleaned and all will there be a noticeable difference?

Won't really notice any "power" with just a good cleaning, unless you bump your main up if you can. Cleaning and adjusting the needle, a/f and pilot will just help throttle response, idle and start up manners.

Improper jetting and dirty carb will have loss of power, wether or not its a drastic change?

Only one way to find out!

Oh, for some reason I didn't see the "improperly jetted" part. That will make a big difference depending on what's in it now and what it wants.

Just a good cleaning won't net you much power though if that was all it needed.

Ok he has the same stuff on his 400 as me k&n filter and motoworks slip on, do you think a 155 main jet would be the way to go?
