So much better. Does not burn the eyes to stand anywhere near it.

We made a small adjustment to the pilot screws as it seemed the tiniest bit rich.

There is a weird thing going on. (even before the adjustment, if that's what you just thought) It starts just fine and even idles around 1k, not the over 2k it was before. If you up the throttle the tiniest amount (up to 1.5k) it goes back to the 1k idle. If you raise it above 1.5k it then raises itself to 3k or more and stays there. Very occasionally it will lower itself to the idle of 1k. If you put it in gear and while holding the brake let out the clutch to draw the rpm to less than 1.5k it will then go back to 1k and stay there just fine.

Any ideas about this?

The stock airbox and exhaust are being used. The airbox is installed properly. The only thing non-stock at the moment is the California emissions tubes are not being used. @ducatiman sent the carbs back with the hose in place to eliminate the Ca. emissions.

Thanks for the input.
