so i got a moist middle plug, there is also a very slight bog in midrange, i need to flutter the throttle a little at around 3/4 throttle to'clear its throat' so to speak, and then at WOT its still 300-400rpm down at topout rpm. lts also using more fuel (it think, not a huge amount- could be the changed riding style to compensate on the way home though)
lve changed plugs, coils, caps, pulled and cleaned carbs (i thought i may had droped a main jet,no such luck). l recently rebuilt the carbs so it isnt loading with fuel cos of shot orings seals etc. floats-level good, no fuel from vent tubes.
Checked comp good-within 3psi accross the board.
l gave the reeds a quick look with a mirror for any obvious failure..................................and i think that maybe my problem, could a chipped corner of a reed that i cannot see without taking it apart cause these kind of problems?
Can reeds just become weak (1997 sled 5000km).................................what have i missed
Thanks
