looking for some help here, on the last 3 or so rides my idles has slowly becoming worse. Not exavtly sure what. The mid range and top end seems really good still. Sled starts fine when cold, after about 10 mins or some hard hillclimbs it drops to 800 or nothing. Smokes extremely bad when it is idling, smells rich as you can hear it pop in the exhaust. idles screw is 1.5 turns. not sure if the choke plays a part in this it is tight but can still feel some slack in the cable. overall carbs are stock except for a 0.030 shim and 500 main jets.

any ideas?
