your absolutely right ! about 30 min ago I found all my old jets !
so somewhere along the line I DID IT ! and the logic I was using at the time was it doesn't run right with stock jets so lets try other ones....
.... sense I have the stock jets now... I will put them back in and put the carbs back on and see if it runs properly.
it probably won't but I know the carbs are proper , so it must be something else other than the carbs....
I am thinking maybe the air bypass valve on the side of the carb.... I did notice
it back firing when I throttled down..... and I don't remember it doing that before....
if the diaphragm on the side in that bypass air valve was blown it might give a big flat spot in the RPM's......
Getting old and forgetful in the middle of a bike teardown is not a good thing
but that is all I can contribute this fiasco to.... me getting dumber ! ACK !
....
it wasn't the P.O. it was me stopping half way through testing what the different jets responded like.... and then forgetting about it putting the fairings back on to get it out of the shop and then wondering why it doesn't run right.....
Ugh ! life's a bitch when your an idiot ! LOL

but I Now know where I'm at ! lets see if I can make this ninja Sing again !

Bob.....
