Any ideas anyone.jetting always a weak point with me!.basically just built my jet200 with the following....taffy honda 205,jl3,new 30phbh solid mount.jetted as follows.55 pilot,70choke,40slide,x7 needle,av264 atomisor(was266).problem is boggs out on low revs.got to give it a fistfull and slip clutch to pull away.af supplied carb and i would have thought it was about right really .maybe its not jetting and cdi is iffy.seems when its under load pulling away.i have moved needle clip from 2nd clip to 3rd and seems a little better.any thoughts much appreciated peeps!

Could be as your main doesn't seem far away..looking in the lam carb set ups and Lloydys set ups it seems a mixture of between 122 and 130..you could experiment if you have jets below and above 128 but as you will know be mind full of the plug colour frequently to fend off any leaning
