I'm thinking this is the way to go. A little richer (not ridiculously rich like stock) for winter, and a leaner for summer. Should I still run the air screw one complete turn out?Ballpark for the 200 (rev profile, snorkel off, reasonably oiled clean filter 40:1): 40/150/CEL-4 summer, 42/152/CEL-4 winter. Run an -EG plug gapped to a skinny .030" if you have an aftermarket lighting coil.

Usually anywhere from 1 to 2.5 out. Depends on the temps and the jetting.
It is a trial and error thing. It's not one setting.... it varies... even in a day.

Yes.... pig rich.
Drop to a 155/45 and adjust from there. This combo is safe and should not foul any plugs.

If you don't mind me asking this question... How do you see the ring when checking a plug chop? Do you take the plug apart?Indawoods wrote:Yes.... pig rich.

I have found 155/45 too be WAY lean, I did not do a plug chop but I was bogging so badly, I went to the 158 and it works great above 30 degrees.

Air screw and needle position my friend!
You have to cut the jacket off the plug to see the ring.

Would I have to move the stock needle position? Or should I just change the pilot and main jets first and adjust the air screw? Also, by turning the air screw "out", is this clockwise or counter clockwise? What does turning the screw"out" do? I remember when the bike was stock and i went from summer riding to fall riding (temp. difference) I needed to adjust this screw, however, I just messed with it until the bike idled right again for the temperature. Sorry for all the noob questions
