Did you put a new needle or seat in it? Sounds like fuel may just be going past the needle. Usually you can get away with a new needle and take some "fine cut" paint cleaner on a q-tip and twist it into the seat to clean up the surface where the needle sits and seals. Usually does the trick......

So you still have a CV style carb then? I swapped to a PC20 style on my little Honda and it made a big difference. Was easier to tune as well..

Yes sadly Kawasaki put a cv carb on it. Same carb that was found on some harleys. Cv carbs suck, they never get the same throttle responce as a regular volicity style with a regular buttefly valve. And they are was easier to tune exspecally with low end throttle response.

It sucks when you got more then one project gping on. I got the bike project and the jeep. Its difficult to determine which one needs parts first or that should be finished first.

Well, I'm back in an XJ. I'm taking my wife's 93 XJ to fix up as a daily driver / family vehicle. The Toyota is going back due to some legal issues.

9I got dw on wensday leaving work. 35mph shound end starting shimming, i guess that old track bars finally gave up its ghost.
Good news is, bike has new tires on it. Spooned on the front one wensday night, and rear one on Friday. Used a cat toybox as a stand.

Well, got another LS1 from a Trailblazer SS to get rid of. Will trade for a running mid 90's 4.0L engine.
