Bowls are correct.sounds like air screw settings need tweeking.
Turn the screw in an 1/8 and see how it pulls.

hi gazilla and all!!! didnt get time until tonite, read some where on here to check the emulsion tubes i had not taken them out so did that first, not much muck in there so turned air screws in as you said and it seems a lot better ;D, pulls awy well etc will give it a spin this week first chance i get, fingers crossed!!!! is it normal to have to alter the air screw like this?? i also checked the needle jets they are on middle notch, jets etc as per standard, thanks for all your help  korky |

Needles should be on second notch from the bottom.Not on middle if bike is standard.this may explain why it seems better with airscrew turned in.

Huh? I thought middle needle notch was the standard setting (for 350), take it the 250 is different...
