Honda NT650 Hawk GT carb tuning (2)

I bought an M4 full system, UNI pods, and the carbs that were in the bike from a lister in exchange for a stock exhaust, some money, and my carbs with the stock needles and jets.

float height10.76mm10.19mm I know nothing about this setup other than the PO says it ran right. He suggested that it had been set up by Hord, but that the PPO had done it, not him, so he didn't know for sure.

I'm guessing that it wasn't set up by hord because it looks like it would be really rich (based on the settings) and that the fuel screw caps were pretty much destroyed, and not removed. I seriously doubt that Hord would leave them like that.

The main jets seem very big to me, and the needle position seems quite high, and the fuel screws are out quite a lot. Maybe he lived somewhere where the air is dense. Nah...
