I think a certain tadpole has brought me bad luck. I got half way down the road this morning and my main jets clogged. I had to ride back home on the pilot jets. Top speed 45 mph at around 5500 RPM. Sound familiar?

Looks like I'll be rebuilding again. I just rebuilt these things about a month or two ago and here they are plugged up again. And that's with an inline filter. I'm thinking its got to be the alcohol in the gas chipping little pieces off the fuel hose that get sucked into the carbs. Anything in the tank would get stopped by the filter.

I'll take a closer look at the phillips heads this time. I don't think mine are brass.
