I'm having trouble with my bike flooding and am wondering if the carb is just not gonna work right because the weather has been 90-100F with around 90% humidity lately. fuel vaporizes better in warm weather right? but i think the humidity is throwing it off. How bad does this effect carb adjustments?
I've dialed in the carb to the point where it idles fine with no choke but it bogged down after about 1/8 throttle open also unburnt fuel spits out the exhaust. So in an attempt to lean my mixture I moved the clip in the needle jet needle one position up right? It ran one time where idle was fine, it kinda bogged at low rpm and then ran great at high rpm but after killing the motor and trying to start it a different time I didn't get those results.
my other question is air/fuel mix if I'm running rich I need more air but wont allowing more air at higher velocity through the carb just draw that much more fuel with it? Also I'v adjusted the float tab in an effort to keep it from flooding but that didn't really work
If anyone can answer any of these questions I would really appreciate it the bike is 79 ke125 with mikuni vm24ss
