Carb Question

[Mat]

What exactly do the #4 washers do for the carbs

[Michael]

Don't do anything for the carbs, but do raise the needles slightly.  This makes the midrange richer so it pulls harder.  gets rid of that annoying flat spot between 4-5000 rpm.

On a related note ... the blooming Ho depo, and Low's around here are all out  of #4's ... and heck they dont even have #2's ... Smallest is #6 ... evidently that's all they now carry ...  :x  ... found plastic #4's whihc are the same as the Brass/aluminium ones ... but anyone else having that trouble, or is it that I am the worlds largest user of #4's that I wiped out the entire area off them ...
Cool.

You can do it with the carbs on the bike. You'll have to remove the tank though.
