although this thread has gone off on a tangent i figured i would post the resolution in case anyone else searches about the same problem lol
well i finally figured it out this weekend… it was the simplest mistake in the world. Mikuni jets are on a different scale…everyone that i was asking for help had a keihin carb, so people were telling me jet sizes like 165-175 depending on the weather is what works for them so thats what i should run. i would tell them that i have a mikuni carb but most people dont know much about them, so nobody told me that keihin jets are waaaay bigger than mikuni jets. a keihin 168 main jet is huuuge compared to a mikuni 168. so i eyeballed it and made a guess. i put a 360 main in it and it ran great. 100% throttle pulls like crazy now so i must be in the ballpark, now i just need to find the range so i can compensate for weather. got my times from 58’s to 54’s this weekend too 🙂 getting there ! ill post some video from this weekend later tonight. BTW Ken thanks for all the help this weekend. i had an awesome time finally getting to ride up against Chris and his Kart. looking forward to getting back out there next weekend.
