Is it the holy grail of 2T jetting? I just tried a #8 slide thinking it would help clean up the off idle jetting compared to the stock 6.5 slide. I couldn't notice any real difference except that it was much harder to get the bike to idle. I think this was a reslut of the new #8 not having a notch.

The 6.5 has a notch that measures .095 wide x .040 deep. This would allow the slide to be closed further (less pullover). Current jetting is 40P, AS 1.5, JD Red #4, 175 main. I rarely ever exceed 1/3 - 1/2 throttle when riding.

The AS is not particularily effective. The bike will idle OK for about 20 seconds, then the RPM drops and it flames out. As long as I blip the throttle once in a while it's OK. I don't usually idle for more than 15 seconds when riding.

Does this behaviour suggest a low float level?
