84 1100 needle setting

[fj11.5]

Hi all, not sure if this effects bottom end running , but I've raised the needles from second last to the last clip slot, stopped the popping at idle, , standard jets and air pods fitted, should I've tried it before taking the next oversized jets out would it be worthwhile fitting the larger ones back in ? Not fussed about fuel consumption , but don't want to just waist it from Being rich

Bottom-end is mainly controlled by the pilot jets and pilot air correctors, and is adjusted using the mixture screws.
Needle position mainly affects mid-range, 1/3 thru 3/4 throttle.
Main jets mainly affect top-end, Wide Open Throttle.... but each circuit affects the others slightly.

You went WAY too rich on the needles, should be adjusting the mixture screws to about 4 turns out. If you go more than 4 turns, you need to go a step up on the pilot jets....

Thanks for the advice mate , have re,set the needles to the third clip slot from the top, making it raised one notch from standard , hope to try it this weekend , idle seems ok  atm  at 3 turns out
