Sounds like could be a bit of fuel pipe [rubber] stuck behind  float needle valve {remove the valve and clean out circuit and be careful fitting the petrol pipes as little bits can cause this when fitting

Can never understand how old floats need adjustment [unless everthing in there is worn out

I would double check for air leaks and carb slide

I bought mine from Motosportz. Kelly had a lot of write ups out there and I figured what the heck!

Thanks Luke. Did you go with the 44mm?  How do you like it?

[Pmcg]

I ended up calling Packard and the guys over there were great.  Very patient and answered all of my questions.  Best part is they have the 44 in stock and it will ship today.  Now I'm just hoping that I didn't do any damage when she revved to the moon.

Get it all set up then give me your specs so I can do mine

It was 375 for the carb and 60 for the throttle and cable. I'm not sure what shipping was but I'll let you know once I get it.

[Foxx4Beaver]

that's not a bad price at all....I may have to step up to the plate too, and get one over the winter
thanks for sharing.

I got a 38mm, I've only got the intermediates bike a 300. Haven't finished building the bike yet and am very keen to see how it goes.
I would think that a 44mm carb would be great for top end.

That goes without saying

Can you spot whats special on my custom sandblaster made brake pedal?

[Pmcg]

With all the new parts I had to keep it a little redneck.
