Thanks for the replies! I'll definitely give seafoam a try, kkim....i have a feeling i gunked up the carbs because I cut a few corners during winter storage prep last year.
Sometimesido, I have about 10k miles on it (yes...i do mean miles....my bike was originally from New York
). The only fiddling with the set screw was done after the bike was warm....but its been pretty chilly lately so "warm" may be a relative term.
I took out the air filter and there was a k&n sitting in there. I'm generally not a fan of these things as they tend to "grease" everything up....but I did notice that for some reason, the air filter lid wasn't sitting properly on the plenum. There isn't a huge gap or anything, but its just kinda lying on top. It absolutely refuses to seat properly. Could this cause a problem?
Thanks so much for the help, guys. I appreciate it.
