Make sure there isn't any junk inside the pilot jets. I always use a number
drill the correct size or slightly smaller to clean them. If the pilot jet
numbers between your old and new carbs are the same chances are that the jet
size is correct. Also do your best to clean the pilot passages in the
carbs.

Hi all,
My Eldo have been lean off idle since I built it. It will idle fine,
but when I go to take off it is really lean and bogs down. I went
through the carbs completely when I built the bike initially, and
noticed one carb body had some significant corrosion, so I got a second
complete set which I am rebuilding now. They are in great shape, but I
wonder if I should alter the jetting any to try and correct the
condition.
I am using the stock airbox, stock jetting, and a new filter I got from
Gordon and Rick.
Would a larger pilot jet help?
TIA
73 Eldo
