Mikuni issues with 1st 1/4 throttle

Hi looking for help with the above. Running a TS1 230 and in 1st quarter throttle if splutters quite badly but then clears and takes off like a scolded cat making it very hard to ride in town. I was told it is because the atomiser is worn but can't be changed as it is part of the carb body unlike a dellorto.

Has anyone else had this issue as I would hate to replace it and find no difference.

Cheers

What are your existing settings?

Main Jet - Pilot - Needle - Clip?
