1 cylinder down - update

[Steven Northrop]

Pods are actually easy to tune because you don't have to remove that STUPID
air box every time you need to access the carbs. I have over 50K miles on my
pod set up and the bike runs very well. A jet kit and some new pilot jets
will be required. Since you removed the air box, what did you do about the
air injection pipe that was attached to it? Did you know there is a vacuum
tap on the carbs for the valve in the air injection pipe? This needs to be
capped off or your bike will run like you say it's running ;)

I would recommend against the pod filters as they are a pain to tune, from
what I have been told is stick with the stock setup and get it running
right.  You will most likely have to re jet going to pod filters.

I would idle the bike for a bit with the filters off and then shut it off to
see if any of the carbs are leaking fuel.

My bikes carbs were a mess when I bought my 95 it took me 3 times to get
them clean.
