Default Carb fart came back.

I put tork cones in it today and they made a diff at low rpm's. Problem is the carb fart is back. Guess I will have to adjust fuel again?

I think you need to do something the enrichen the accelerator pump that squirts the fuel in when you turn the throttle...but i don't know how exactly to do that...

The accelerator pump is not easily adjustable on a Keihin CV. It can be done, but is not worth the effort. Carb farts are generally the symptom of a lean mixture, and the easiest solution is to adjust the mixture screw, and bump up the idle rpm a bit if it is on the slow side. If you need to open the idle mixture screw more than 3 turns, you can go one size up on the idle jet and start over. You should also replace your intake gaskets if you haven't done so in the last few years, leaky gaskets will lean out your mixture. Another alternative (the one I used) is to change the jet needle out to an N65C which is richer in the straight portion than the late model variety. If you go this route you should shim it .040 to get the tapered portion to the appropriate position. This mod completely eliminated all farts and stumbles on my ride ... your mileage may vary (literally!)

Just turned the fuel up about 1/8th of a turn. If this rain ever stops I will be able to see if that helps. I am at about 2 3/4 turns on the fuel screw.
