OK... Its been a few days and the bike is starting much better now. No its not by magic or voodoo... its by tuning (specifically the slow jet and A/F mix screw). The Main, Pilot and Needle tuning will come later on the dyno.

Thing is I can't tell you what I did. Well, I can but it won't matter to you if you own a set of these carbs cause each bike is different based on a number of things. Same goes for jetting our OEM carbs but there are less variables (unless your B02S4 ). Example... Carlos runs a 1087 fully built motor and his jetting is (I forget which one) is smaller than mine right now. What I can tell you is that my bike is thirsty and I foresee that 40mpg I was getting pretty much going out the window soon. Cest La Vie!

With guidance form Carlos and a few adjustments I have gone from having to hold the throttle open while starting and a massive backfire and high idle to a few blips of the throttle (I said blips not turns) a push of a button and a smooth startup that won't make me cring and make my neighbors hate me.

Tomorrow morning will get me another step closer to a perfect start and Im sure there will be a few more adjustments. As of right now starting is night and day. No offense to Mag10 but Im able to start without having to monkey with my idle screw as of this morning. Man, what a relief!

You know whats gonna kill me.... next year when I go to a 994 big bore. Everything Im doing now will go back to square one and I get to do it all over again

Only 440 more miles till I can get her on a dyne THEN really open her up.
