    Question carb adjusting

    I just adjusted the floats on my gs due to finding fuel in the oil. It now seems to have a good strong fire but blows abit of smoke. Is it just burning off the crap in it or is the mix wrong? Its a greyish smoke.

    Sounds lean mate. I saw you mentioned you added pods, this will be giving it far more air than before, so you need to give it far more fuel as well. A Dyno will be your friend. Careful you're not running it lean mate!

    On the shitfighter when I first put pods on, I upped the jet from 117.5 to 150's

    I had a stuck needle and seat a while ago and filled the sump full of fuel, check them before it goes ka-boom...
