I been gone the last two days to my father's farm. I checked the needle to see what notch it was on, and it was second from the top. When I ran it WOT it seemed to be flooding, so I moved the needle to the top notch (as lean as possible). This seemed to really make it scream and have a smooth acceleration. So I put in a new plug and did the whole "plug chop" thing. Plug was light brown/tan. GREAT! :w00t: Then after riding awhile it started acting up, like it wasn't getting enough fuel :wondering . So I moved the needle from top notch to third notch (one richer than I started). I did a plug chop again and it was a little darker but not much at all :confused: . So then I was confused at how 2 different needle settings could create the same looking spark plug. Both times I was running with no airbox lid and it had smooth acceleration. Currently it's still on the third notch and gives a good spark plug reading, but if you run it at a constant speed it acts like it is hesitating. Any ideas?
It's still got all the factory jets, and the fuel pump squirts gas a little when I unhook it from the carb and kick it over so I don't think that is the problem.
