All,

Here are the symptoms:
1. Starts great
2. Warms up with choke pulled out...there is a hiccup and it seems isolated to the left side-fuel will drip from plunger where choke enters carb when the choke is pulled all the way out.
3. Idles fine when chock pushed back in.... with no sign of the hiccup in the carbs. Revving engine sounds fine with a small backfire from left side when revving engine (much smaller than previous)
4. When pulling out the bike has NO power and is hard to get up to speed if at all....Seems worse when its warmed up completely

INFO:

1. Left side carb boot dryrotted. Both boots replaced. Utilized original clamps (they tightened really well-the replacement ones have not arrived-used ones from 2003 SM and this did not correct the problem)
2. All squirell condoms checked and ones from 2003 SM put on to test. No problems found.
3. Changed spark plugs
4. AI is still on the bike (anyway this could cause anything?)
5. Air Screws 3 1/2 turns out

I am about to take it into a dealership (but it is 3 hours away). If anyone has a suggestion to try prior to the trip PLEASE get back with me ASAP. ( I will be leaving around 930 AM tomorrow)

You may call my cell phone if typing something out will not get the point across. 304 360 4082

Thanks in advance

Steve
