Posted June 16, 200916 yr 78 XS 400. When I go full throttle no matter what rpm/gear at about 6,000 rpms it sputters/hesitates for about 2-300 rpm then pulls fine after that, does this mean I am lean or rich or something else? My idle is perfect and the throttle response from 1200 rpm+ is awesome right now. Thanks!

June 17, 200916 yr Moderator Carbs have been fully rebuilt and cleaned already and how many times i've heard that before only to find some hidden "gunk" in the emusion tubes. did you strip and clean the carbs yourself using an ultrasonic cleaner or did you get it professionally cleaned?
