    Hit the kill switch, pull in the clutch. Read the plug.

    Good article Here on the procedure
    Or stick your finger up its bum and see if you get a light smear of poo or the full black finger.

    In this case, it's a very black finger.

    Just replaced the main jet 165 clip 4 notches down to a 155 & clip 3 notches down.
    Left the fuel mixture as it was at 1 1/2 turns out

    Went for a short ride up the driveway & although it goes well there is no real head snapping backwards at full throttle like before. I take it this is what is to be expected & not something I could have done accidently?

    The main jet is tested with full throttle riding.

    Cheers Pete that's an excellent chart. I've finally got my head around the circuits in carbs now so i'm not quite going in blindly.

    Not sure about the weekend but tomorrow is family day.
