Did you change the needle setting? Believe lower a notch for lean and raise
a notch for rich.

Hi all,
My Eldo have been lean off idle since I built it. It will idle fine,
but when I go to take off it is really lean and bogs down. I went
through the carbs completely when I built the bike initially, and
noticed one carb body had some significant corrosion, so I got a second
complete set which I am rebuilding now. They are in great shape, but I
wonder if I should alter the jetting any to try and correct the
condition.
I am using the stock airbox, stock jetting, and a new filter I got from
Gordon and Rick.
Would a larger pilot jet help?
TIA
73 Eldo
