The main is a 70. It had a 66 when I started. I have a spike air cleaner from eBay that I got from ahovelheadkicker. It seems to have cleaned up a lil more. But I want to read the plugs when it cools down. Honestly. I've been doing a lot of my troubleshooting and tuning by listening to idle decel backfire which seems to be almost gone. Light acceleration 1500-2500 and hard acceleration and reading the plugs.

What does the aux bowl vent do? Also Would it be better to go with a slightly bigger air bleed screw 40-44 or is 40-60 ok? If I decide I wanna mess with that.

Here we go again. I was riding last night around town I stopped for an hour or so and then headed home about midnight it was pretty chilly out I was about a half mile from home took off from a stop light in the bike just started cutting out and dying I was able to keep it running with the clutch and I didn't actually die but it is the exact same situation as when I initially posted this I got home and pulled the plugs and they look good I'm wondering if I have some sort of electrical problem any ideas where I should go from here?

Did you remove the bowl vent like advised?

Yes. I was also wondering if some of you could show me how are you routed your fuel lines. I rerouted mine so it would not touch the cylinders

Ok so I left my place made it about a quarter mile and it started again. It felt like it was running out of gas. I flipped to reserve. No change. I nursed it to a decent gas station and filled up. Took it a second to start. Then good to go. The last gas station I filled up at wasn't the best. So I'm thinking bad gas. At least I'm hoping. But either way only top gas from now on.

You have a fuel problem. take the petcock out and clean the screen then change the gas line to a HD type line. Make sure your gas cap is venting..

I'm gonna look at the peacock tomorrow. I rode it around tonight. Still no issues at all. Pretty sure it is bad gas causing it but I can't believe it's so temperamental. I'm a lil concerned about what that has is doing on the inside of the motor. But like I said before only good gas from here on.
