OK....maybe an aluminum trap?

Most things I've found point to the rec's by Jesse Keintz at keintech.com
which is what I've done (140 main, stock 37.5 Pilot, Performance needle in
4th groove, Extended fuel screw and cut out a 3" X 4" hole in the top of the
airbox) Didn't have a chance to do anything today....but I'll change the air
filter and clean the carb tomorrow.

It has the CV carb - Mikuni TM33SS (Stock settings are a 132.5 Main and a
37.5 Pilot)
