I think I did 1 full turn on mixture screws and i have the 110's still in bag.

Go down to 1/4 turn on the mixture screws. 115 main jets will get you close on the main circuit.

Needles are very easy to adjust on the RS carbs. Just remove the slide cover, loosen the small allen screw holding the retaining finger and rotate it out of the way. Use a needle nose pliers to remove the needle and adjust the clip position. All 4 needles can be adjusted in a few minutes.

With some minor carb adjustments you should be able to get good throttle response and power with no carbon fouling.

Let us know what happens.

Put a 1075 kit and cams in it and you will be glad you have those carbs.

I have to second that notion as well because you will really like it especially if you do some nice porting and polishing. Make sure you add a cooler to that mix. My bike runs hot in traffic and I am looking for an oil cooler to put on it to keep the temps down.

What should stock compression be? Mines is showing 220 on each cyclinder but 3 show 225.

220psi indicates some 10.25:1 pistons.

So I did and the bike ran ok but keeps running through pluggs and now got a brand new set of Mikunis that i can't return because i used them.

I like the throttle response of the 34's. I tried a buddys 29mm and she was kind tame.

I think your answer is staring u in the face.
U like the way the carbs perform ,but they fowl plugs.
Follow davels advice.
once u get them tuned properly they will not fowl plugs.
u are obviously rich on the pilot s.
Learn how to tune them befor u buy new carbs. you will have to tune new ones anyways.
Read all u can an tune away. when your done u will have saved enough for a header, then u can tune it again. lol
Have fun with it. there is lots of help here. probably the worst question u can ask on this forum is, what size carbs. there are many dif opinions here.:silly:

Ok thanks everyone for your help.

Whoa.... am I getting this right where the recommendation is for him to re-build his whole engine just so he can use these carbs! :blink: :silly: :woohoo:

it seems like that hu?

you can go bigger or smaller on jets to achieve what you are looking for.

follow the advice already given by davel

But he really Likes them... Sounds like the motor is already somewhat built @ 10,25 compression.
