Samidave,

There is a lot of info on the various 'Zuki boards. Check this one out and see if it is what you are looking for.

If this doesn't do the trick the next best thing is to do a search for carburetor or carburetor adjustment on each of the boards and just keep looking through each of the posts until you hit the jackpot.

Mine had that problem before so I looked in my tear down manual, it was very thin in the carb section. I took it to the dealership and said tune it up( the carb only) cost me 38 bucks (1/2 hr labor + tax) now it works great.I'm mechanicly inclined but not a mechanic, was told you can really mess them up and get expense to fix.

food for thought :-/ :-/

I don't get that at all!  Back in the 60's and 70's nobody had fuel injection.  We all learned to adjust a carb (with varying degrees of success).  I can still do it by ear.
