Not sure how VFR carbs are set up, tbo, but the round-slide Mikunis on my Suzuki you synced by adjusting the base position of the slide and needle...
Could be, sure. Could also mean some jets or passages have fuel varnish in them still. Or some o-rings have gone hard and brittle. Or any number...

+1 on the carb cleaning. Maybe even a complete teardown and rebuild of the carbs. Next year DRAIN the carb bowls, cut off the fuel supply (via...
No changes needed, doesn't really affect backpressure enough to affect tourque/fuel mileage significantly. I plan to put a PC-V with autotune on...
I had a horsefly crawling ON MY NOSE last spring. Was going 75 on a major freeway at the time so there wasn't squit I could do about it....
May showers bring June flowers apparently. Supposed to be nice tomorrow until two or so, might go for a spin.
