Oh boy.... The news is that you guys are smart with this stuff. Bad news I'm not lol (Gotta laugh, right?)
We did not adjust any of the carb settings when they were off. As it was, it wasn't running right. It smelled rich (gas smell if I'm correct) & would bog out at times while idling. The consensus was that the air/fuel ratio wasn't right. So, with my non-expertise, I assumed the previous guy didn't didn't do the jet work and reinstalling an airbox would help. Since then, it doesn't smell rich and no longer bogs out as before. I figured I made the right call (maybe I didn't?). It definitely runs better, at least on neighborhood rides (30-40mph; 3rd & 4th gear). Even before the airbox we never took it on the main road so I can't make the equal comparison.
I guess the questions are: 1. What would you do? And 2. How would I know if the jets were changed/how can you tell the size (or #)?
