Hints on adjusting the Pilot Jets?

[Got3now]

The bike is a little lazy off idle. I have the pilot jets set at 1 1/2 turns out.. I have the motion pro tool to reach in and adjust the jets. Just wondering if there is any sequence or preferred method to tune the pilot circuit.

Gently Seat all the mixture screws, back them out 1 and 1/2 turns. Start with #1 cylinder and back off(turn out) the mixture screw a 1/4 turn at a time until the revs raise to their peak and begin to fall, turn the mixture screw in until you reach the peak rev again, repeat on the remaining mixture screws.

Then set your idle.

Above seems like a great and easy (enough) to do tip, as the finishing touch to a carb sync. How come I have never heard or noticed this before in the forum ...

Thanks for posting, I will certainly give it a try.

I agree, all I have heard to just turn them 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 turns out . It has allways worked for me.
