Was the bike running good before going to pods? I bet it wasn't and I bet it has nothing to do with the pods (they don't make that much of a difference for idle although they will change things a bit).

I think the screws you are referring to are drain screws!
Have you cleaned the carbs? Have you set the float height? Are there any cracks in the manifold to engine (carb rubbers) connection?
Have you done a complete tune up? Spark plugs, wires, WG coil mod? New points and condensor?
Those are the basic questions every

The part on the carbs I'm speaking of are little white plastic knob like thangs. They are attached to screws and will only move about a 3rd of a full turn.That is where they are stopped by the float bowl.
Ummmm, :dry: I don't think were talking about the same thing.
Lemme see if I can find a diagram......
I'm talking about part #30/31. The pic doesn't show where it goes, but it's on the bottom of the carbs toward the engine.

The idle mixture on your bike appears lean. You should adjust the mixture screws by turning them counter-clockwise. A good starting point with your #15 pilot jets would be about 2 to 2 1/2 turns out from lightly seated. It might also be a good idea to install some #17.5 pilot jets and clean the internal carb passageways associated with the pilot and choke (enrichener) circuits.
