ok, got my carbs half apart and realized that i must have been out of it the last time I had them apart because i've got the order of the washers on the needle different on different carbs. Is the order supposed to be:

metal flat -> e-clip -> larger plastic -> metal flat

or

e-clip -> metal flat -> larger plastic -> metal flat

??

settled on

flat metal -> e-clip -> flat metal -> larger plastic

hopefully that's right, it makes more sense. i don't know what the hell i was thinking before

In order from top of needle:

Small washer
E-clip
Plastic Washer
Large Washer

This should help:

my metal washers are the same size, but sounds like i got it right. i'll let you know how it's running with the new tubes, so far so good; the throttle response is better than it was with my needles set on the very leanest setting. no more bogging down off the line.

oh wait i'm kind of backwards, i'm too tired to think about this shit.

I have two sets of carbs and both only have 1 metal washer small metal washer-->clip-->plastic washer

My bike ran fine yesterday with the order not quite right, so order obviously isn't critically important.

No, you shouldn't have an issue. But, I'm sure down deep it's going to bother you knowing that at any time the bike could blow up instantly from your one little mistake...

It will, I'll probably end up tearing everything apart again to fix it.

It should have no effect at all. But, if you're like me, it will burn a hole right through you knowing it's not in the right order.

Yes. I have a problem.
