Good article.

Nice find Alex.

Thanks, Alex.

To me, a carburetor looks like a juggler, balancing so many variables at the same time and for so many different conditions.

Just change one ball, and the combustion either improves or gets weaker via a chain reaction.

yeah. unfortunately for me i know too well how hard it is to get the fuel mix correct the entire range. i wrote a post earlier that follows this same routine but this guy is much better at writing than i am.

Excellent article, thanks!

I'm forever messing with the carb on the KLR, it's similar to the Ninja's carb.
