carb questions

[Steven Northrop]

To properly clean out the pilot circuit, you need to remove the pilot jets 
and make sure they're clean, remove the pilot screws (watch out for the 
little washer and o-ring at the end of the spring) and blow out the circuit 
with some Dragon's Breath or good carb cleaner. If the pilot circuit is 
clean and the pilot screws properly adjusted and the bike still won't idle, 
you have a vacuum leak somewhere.

Tom,

The jet numbering system is different between Dynojet jets and the
stock jets so the numbers don't mean anything in relation to each
other.  If the kit said to use their 104's you did it correctly.

Did you clean/replace the pilot jets?  It sort of sounds like a
clogged pilot circuit.
