polini 135 on a vep 90, 19mm standard carb,polini pipe, what pilot jet do these use, got a 55 in it but it bogs down on gear change after a little blast in 2nd, 3rd, then back to second and open the throttle and bluuuurrhh,nothing. pull choke out and it pulls away instantly but obviously way to rich . got standard air filter gauze type , wot do we reckon peeps??? surely if it is a fuel tap flow problem the choke trick woud not work right!! so must be carburation, it ticks over nice and starts instantly, even with the standard 45 pilot, so i think 55 is over kill and should not be neccessary, doesnt appear to have any airleak symptoms. any ideas appreciated thanks
