So i have bs83 running what i believe are stock jets and needles.

the bike idles fine (after checking timing, sync'ing carbs and adjusting the idle mixture screws) but at speeds ive gotten complaints from my friends that the bike smells.. they are not motor heads so they just say it smells. From what i can tell from their comments, revving in neut and my plugs is that the bike is running rich.

I was wonder what proper jet and needles i should have and where the clip on the needle should be set with a stock exhaust and mikes pods when running 79 bs83 carbs?

thanks
