Start out with a 175/45 setup. You've got a similar set up to mine, at similar elevation. Mine is pretty much spot on that way. Fuel screw is 2.5 turns out. On the 3rd clip.

Go with Big's advice, I'm running 175/45 as well. I have a FCR39 and he has a 40. Other than that our set-ups are pretty similar.

Well I decided to start off with a 175 main and 48 pilot and it is popping alot on decel so it is lean right? I know a leak in air flow can cause it to go lean. I have heard what sounds like a pulsing whisttle. I have checked all connections(on intake side I used brake clean to check) and can't find a leak anywhere. I can't even pin point where the noise is coming from. Does the 04 05 450r carb whistle like the FCRs? any ways what are you opinions I am currently running a 175main and a 48pilot. Here is a vid of the popping. I have read biggie saying to up the main and Chuck says to up the pilot. Who is right?
