Hey Tony sorry to hear about your back pain I’ve had lower back pain for 7yrs nerve blocks etc 5 yrs ago had stem cell it helped a lot but pain is back so I’m going to try a newer procedure called RFA in the coming months I’ll let you know the outcome. Yea sometimes it’s best to walk away for a few days. I hope you get to feeling better     Wes

Hi Wes, thanks for the well wishes.  I'm feeling better this afternoon, spent some quality time with a heating pad, my adjustable bed (folds up like a taco

) with my feet up and some ibuprofen.  The VA wanted to shoot cortisone into my low back but I refused.  Back when I was a personal trainer I did a little studying on that crap and found that it is bad for you, deteriorates the joint over time but yeah gives you short term relief - no thank you!

I will probably try the bike tomorrow morning, we'll see how I feel mentally and physically then.  Thanks again!

Tony glad you are feeling better!! Radiofrequency ablation Isn’t cortisone it’s radio waves on the facet nerve only can last up to 4 yrs. I agree on the cortisone it’s not good for your joints. Just glad you are better!!

If it won't start, the main jet isn't the issue, it's the slow/low-speed jet.

Going with a bigger carb, the intake velocity is lower and therefore you may need to UPSIZE the slow jet. Seems counter intuitive.
If you can start it but it then dies when opening the throttle, again you may need to upsize the main or move the needle up to add more jet-area at lower carb velocity.

Did you start a new thread with video?
Good luck!

Good morning TresCuatros, I believe I have the carb mostly figured out but still need to do some fine tuning on it.  I did start a new thread, see below link, it's breaking up at high RPM now so a couple on the other thread think it's electrical, seems odd to me that it has all of a sudden decided to act up now but I know not impossible - just my luck!
