just some updates...
I spent some time over the WE to make a full check. That was like a practice session after reading all the stuff here lol
I did a shotgun (not fully since I had to use air spray can) and noticed that the mixture screws where holding some rust due to missing washers and o-ring. Springs are also in a bad shape due to the rust. I'll check for replacing those asap. For now, it's clean but I had to put it back without missing parts and with the bad springs.
Drain holes were clogged.
Vboost was stuck in open position due to the adjustment screw being too tight.
My float level were off, they are now set to 1.115. On top of that, the float was not positioned properly with the needle spring. My wet level look fine now (16 mm) but I still need to do it again more accurately. I'll do it again when repla:bang head:cing the mixture screws.
After correcting all those, I can already see huge improvement.
I'm still too rich, I can still smell the gas from the exhaust but the bike is running much better now. It's still hesitating at low rpm, it doesn't accept a full throttle smoothly. I might try to target 1.125 for the float and 17 mm for the wet level depending on what I read next time.
I have measuring it with a home made setup that way I don't need to put back the carbs on the bike to check the level.
I was thinking about setting up something live an IV bad or bottle to supply the carbs in gas and suspended high enough to maintain enough pressure. I did it with a plastic bottle and hoses feeding directly the carbs, it works but it's an hassle :rofl_200:
Still it takes less time than assembling and disassembling the rack over and over :bang head:
I usually let somebody messing up with the carbs since until now I was a bit worried about doing it myself.
I always felt knowledgeable after all the time spent here but I used to be afraid of moving from theory to practice.
But at the end, the moral of the story is sometimes better to deal with your own shit yourself, even if it takes you forever. At least you know what and how it is done
Big thanks to your guys who are writing those sticky post

If somebody has a better idea than my IV, I'll appreciate
