Help please, trying to dial in a old model TM-32 and I'm really struggling. I have a successful pilot jet @27.5 with 1.5 turns, however I'm using a P4 needle jet with 5FP17 needle (clip in middle). No matter which main jet I run VM type 175-205 or hex type 170- 190 I can't get above half throttle without total loss of power.the best it ran to nearly full was with the 180 hex , but the pug was very lean. Checked floats, electrics are all good. On running the standard VM28 I have no problems going to full throttle (but I run out of carb for my engine)

Bike is '07 Iron Barrel 500, 0.20 overbore, hot tube removed, short bottle and intake enlarged to 32mm & polished exhaust

Hi. I have a 1967 Royal Enfield 350 bullet. It has a 6/26R wassell carb fitted. Very poor starter. Have to flood it out before it even wants to try. Anyone got any settings for this which may be of use.
Thank you itone19
