I just ordered an oil analysis kit. Once it arrives, I'll drain the oil and send in a sample. I'll post the results once I get them.
I'll tighten the boots tonight and re-test again with carb cleaner.
You are correct. I never needed the choke....even when I rode when it was below freezing.
If I continues to get horrible gas mileage, I'll take the carbs out again and bring it to a shop to let them take a look at it (in case I missed anything).
I'll keep you guys updated.
PS - one of the reason why gas mileage increased is because I modified my riding. When I got 41mpg (my highest), I was shifting at 6k and cruising around d 4k-5k.
My last fill up was 38mpg. I shifted at 7k nd cruised around 6k. Ideally, I like cruising around 7k and shift at 8 or 9k. But I'll get in the mid - high 30 range when I do that =(
