Honda dream running rich

steven
My 67 305 Dream is running too rich! I've tried a number of different main jets (currently 110) adjusted float. Carb is a PW22. Has anyone experience the same issue?

Mikuni carbs are always rich off the shelf. I know guys that have totally quit riding motorcycles after trying to tune them.

It's not the Mikuni. I put the stock back on, PW22 is the stock.

I thought it was a typo and you were trying to get the Mikuni to work, what happened with the Mikuni swap?
For the original carb, it worked when it came from the factory and should work again. Was the brass and rubber parts replaced with astermarket parts? Could the jets have been drilled? Are there any parts missing? Do you have the correct intake boot and filter?

The Mikuni didn't work out. Everything on the carb has been replaced...except the air screw...which looks fine.  I was just curious if anyone had the the main jet figured out or because I was at sea level if there was a specific combination of jets.

Have the parts been replaced with Honda parts or aftermarket parts? The stock jets that came in the carb should work just fine at sea level.
