Posted awhile back pics of my plugs that indicated one side running too lean vs the other.

Which was just one example (the plug pic)
it really was running too lean.
Popping when I let off the throttle was bad then, got better when I put the stock box back in with smaller jets that were correct for the stock box.
but yesterday it got Alot worse!

right side of the engine was hotter then the left after an aggressive ride.

Also backfired pretty loudly twice starting it up.

Just took the carbs off to check everything out, including the right top cap I need to replace (part inc from da buddah!)

Noticed the hose I have capping off the right vacuum port got ripped (my doing without knowing)

So I've been riding with a vacuum leak the whole time ><
luckily it hasnt been TOO much.

So Im pretty confident I can put my 145 jets and K&N filter back on and not have to worry now.

Also have 150 main jets on order with my new side cover and emblem.

will update when im done.
going to clean the carbs again just for good measure since they are off.
