you will want the floats set very high for hillclimbing hills, especially like ones that you're ripping on there.  If the carb leaks from the overflow, its too high, but otherwise set them higher than standard,

There ought to be signs at the bottom that say "Not for pussies or 4 stokes!"  Nice climbing.

If i were to mix up 85 degrees with 93 octane @ 40:1, throw in a 52p, 68m, @ 1.5 turns an a dash of n82m 3rd clippy juice, and bottle it up, i'd name it "ping be gone" an sell it to guys like me. Then i'd buy a bungaloo in sunny Aruba.  Thx again for the Carby insight fellas ;)   much appreciated  :-D
