I think so. I did it wrong once, on one side, and the bike
acted as you
describe.

Thanks for all the advice guys. Greg, you're talking about

the little

brass thingy with the tiny check-valve balls inside? The

correct way

is
so the jet needle bears down on the end with the holes in it

(top side)

and the spring is under it, and presses up on the end with

the slot?

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
