Good Fortune!

Nebr rex, i've run all standard engine checks. Getting great compression and spark. Ive given the carbs a thorough clean and diaphragms are fine, though i did have to patch one of them with some bike repair kit stuff, hope it holds! Turns out i was wrong about the main jet, I misread an M for a 1 so the main jet is 60. Pilot is 68. Stock main is 70 so don't really want to send away for a bigger jet when I'm running rich.
With regards to the exhaust, Ive got a straight pipe connected to the old pipes which i welded into a 2-1 my self. Think they should be fine?!

SWest, The pods are brand new and clear. I used the connector boots of the stock air box between the filter and the carbs as apparently this gives a more linear air flow.

Patton, Slightly baffled by float hight! Will adjusting it change the rich/ leanness of the mixture or does it just do float bowl level. Are they linked and can i play with the hight to fix my problem as i can't find any smaller jets?

Thanks for helping guys!!
