I ran the BG44 through already. Since I was switching out the plugs wanted to foul them out and clean the cylinders and any reminants of gas out first (higher concentration of BG, 1 quart gas/third can BG, 3 times). With the BG gone, I pulled the fouled plugs and replaced them. Changed oil, tightened chain, etc. Ran the bike, pulled the plugs, everything clean, just stumbles a little. Now wanted to start the carb adjustments. I put the bike in cold storage for over 6 years. Drained the gas, oil fogged the engine, and pulled the battery (similar to a boat) before I put in storage. Thus, I imagine reason carbs are out of sync. Like I said the bike is stock, no other work on the bike than scheduled maintenance by dealer. Any specs on the needles you used? Is yours stock or have you changed exhaust, removed emissions, etc?

Pulling my blackbird out of cold storage and wanted to adjust the carbs this weekend. The bike is stock and I picked up a set of mercury carb sticks to sync the carbs. I have tuned everything else but notice she is stubbling/surging around 4k. The fuel filter is clean and has new gas, also been running some BG44 through the tank. Been reading about adjusting the pilot screws, cleaning the low speed jets, and syncing the carbs. Just wondering what the sequence is when others tune their carbs getting them ready for spring? Should I clean the jets first, sync the carbs, then adjust the pilots - or another sequence? Thanks
