    Default Need Help Adjusting Carbs

    I have a vulcan 500 (en500 C2) and I took my carbs off and cleaned them. WOW WHAT A DIFFERENCE. It was like somebody had a rag shoved in the intake or something. BUT, I need help adjusting the Pilot needles (I think that is what they are called. They are adjustable from the bottom of the carb while bike is running.) My bike is running kind of rough and I don't know if I need to adjust those or what I need to do. Possibly it's the synchronization? I just don't know.

    Any help would be GREAT. Thanks in advance!

    Youll have to describe "running rough" but yea anytime ya mess around with the carbs you might as well synch them, it looks real easy actually if you have the tool for it. Im def. no carb expert though.
