You're using the choke to try and figure out if it's running too rich or too lean. That will tell you where the problem is. If you want to test if the old air filter is the problem just take it out and go for a short spin to see if there's an improvement. If there is then the filter is blocked. I'd be surprised if it was the filter just because it was ok before you did the carb work right? So it should still be ok unless you blocked it somehow. 1/2 a turn on one mixture screw wouldn't be enough to cause a big problem. They're an adjustment point they don't have to be exactly at 2 1/2
Ok took the bike for a ride yesterday.
I tried to ride it with a bit of choke and it seems worse than before. So i presume is running too rich. Am I correct in saying that? Strange enough is that this happens only when going from low gear and increasing the throttle. Let say if i am in 4 and changed to 3 gear and slow down, when i try to pick up speed if i open the throttle half way quick the issue happens but if i don't open the throttle half way but steady increase it then it is fine.
I am expecting the new filter tomorrow so i will test that as well.
thanks
