My 185cc with 24mm PWK, breathing direct, seems to be 4 stroking between 1/4 and 1/2 throttle, I'm running a 34 pilot and a JJH needle on 2nd clip from top, any ideas?

JJH is a bit rich, assuming you have tried lowering the needle (raising the clip) you could try a GJH, that's a bit leaner in the mid range.

I'll try it tommorrow, with the needle clip on top, if that improves it, i'll look to purchase a GJH.

Has certainly stopped the '4 stroking', only thing now, is the revs take a while to drop when easing off the throttle?
Are ther any UK suppliers of PWK/Kehein needles?
