I see that some people cut the plugs and some don't, I've never cut mine. It seems better to cut them for a more accurate reading. You learn something new everyday. Thanks for the info Larry.
I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong dude. I apologize if I came of like an asshole but I thought a plug chop was done differently. Having the same setup as you, I'm really interested to see the outcome of any changes you try. And I'll try to stop wearing pocket T-shirts but it's gonna be hard man....real hard.
I wanna say it looks a little lean. How in the hell did you cut that plug? Not to bust your chops but you do know what people mean by plug chop right?

I have the same 421 setup as you but with mikuni vm36's. I had the pj's but they weren't enough. A friend of mine that I bought the top end from ran your carbs with it and liked them as far as know. I believe he had the same jetting.

Both myself and someone else have shearer in frames and his doesn't lag as bad as mine but just enough to notice. Thought it might be the pipes.

A friend of mine has them on his 485 and it runs great and the pj's just weren't doing it so I got 3 vm36's for a good price, changed the mains and the pilots thought I had em set pretty good but now the low end 1/4 bogs and then takes off like a bat outa hell. Got home and checked em out to find the needles and the needle jets were for a richer setting (snowmobile). I'm having a little trouble getting the float valves out but I'm gonna guess they are the 1.3 and not the 3.3 that I need. Working on these mikunis and learning the different types of pre sets is making it a little easier. If I ever do buy a set of carbs they will most likely be brand new so I don't have someone else's problem.

I have another friend with a 485 trinity PV with the same carbs and he doesn't have any of the problems I have. And yes Larry you are 100% correct! I gotta gut them and put in everything new. Just wish I had the money for brand new shiny carbs lol.
