[QUOTE="BassBlaster, post: 189199, member: 2865"] Okay Pappy, I need some of your expertise!! I cleaned and rebuilt the carb. Put it all back together and put it in a tank to tune it with the cowl off. I got it all tuned up and was running like a brand new one. Ran perfect. Nice and smooth at low and high speeds and a very snappy throttle. I put the cowl back on and obviously the carb gets less air then so I knew I would have to do a little tweaking. The slow speed actually got even smoother!! The high speed side, well, thats another story. I had to turn the needle in about an 1/8th to a 1/4 turn to get it to run smooth at the high speed side but I have lost alot of the rpm's I had with the cowl off and the throttle respnse went to crap. I have to barely ease into the throttle to keep from killing it. What do I need to do? [/QUOTE]
