Carby making a weird noise.

When I warm it up, every 15 seconds or so it makes a weird *POOF* noise, kind of like a silent fart sound.  I checked all the vacuum hoses for kinks and can't find any.  It could be related to the second washer I put on the needles to remedy the 90mph stall that I was getting, but I havn't gotten around to running it up to 90mph yet to see if that has been cured.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  Also, I recently set my  floats to 14.6mm.  Does anyone here remember the exact height?  I thought it was 13mm but whatever, I only searched the archives for a few minutes and that's the first number I found.  Thanks a bunch.

Intake valve too tight, or hanging open/sticking.

13mm sounds like a good number to me, I think I'm using that.

It wouldn't be related to the additional washer, that affects mid-range.  What's happening is down low.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

good judgement trumps good skills every time.

13mm ... WTF ...
OK Poof ... its a feature ...
Anyway I'd suspect valve being tight as well as something else being blocked. Air jets, pilot jets ... whatever.
Cool.
