The lean spot develops over time if deposits start forming. Often a buyer of a used 250 will find needle shims and idle screws way open, in an attempt by the previous owner to make up for partially clogged carbs.

That's definitely good to know, definitely going to leave them out, and shoot for perfect running.. Plus less variables for troubleshooting while getting these bikes back on the road.
Pressure is on at home, got the talk....are you sure you know what you are doing with the bikes from the gf. The Motorcycle mechanic in me died a little, lol
All in now haha
