The bottom ring is the double, mark faces up.

Ha, listen to me doling out advice now.

See, learning this stuff is easy, you just have to screw it up the first time for it to really sink in  ;D

In school they say the best way to learn something is to miss it on a test. I guess that assumes you aspire to learn at all, and are there for that purpose.

Do you what the skirt to wall clearance is? The reason I ask the instructions with those kits call for huge numbers.

The bike has a brand new MAC performance 4-1 exhaust, and the carbs are fitted with UNI foam filter pods (model PK-23).
As we were aware this would put the engine in a lean condition, I had a custom jetting kit designed by 6 Sigma Engineering. They design the jetting specs based on the bike's mods, and operating altitude. It has 120 main jets, and the needles have been moved up to the next position (right now they are at the 2nd to last position, one more and they will be as high as they can go)
I'd like to find out how things work with the 6 Sigma jet kit too.
