"TOR Shorties with NO baffles-wide open other than some edges inside"
If this is true, and you have straight through pipes, you will never get those carbs dialed in without major motor motifications. You need a certain amount of back pressure to get anything to run right.



Tried to address this with the comment about edges inside...the TOR shorties have a sort of "donut" at the forward end....it is after that "donut" that the pipes are open. Like I said in the original post, the bike was completely dialed in before the Freak Kit. I'm now trying to reestablish that sweet spot. I had started to research more about the pilot jets and was glad to see that the first few responses confirmed a direction.

I've already experimented a little with adding more backpressure (think big washer inserted between headers and extensions). If new pilot jets don't help solve the challenge, the next step will be to revisit backpressure.

Cheers
