Answer
Hi Ron,

Sorry for the delay in replying. My ISP was down for service.

Reading your description is a bit confusing with all the equal signs. Is your MC hesitating during cruising at 55 mph?

Instead of mph or rpm, use throttle opening positions to describe carburetor/fuel related problems.

It's helpful to know if the MC was stored for any period of time. Also, some carb cleaners may harm carb parts.

From the information provided, I suspect the carbs need thoroughly cleaned. I'll send tech files to your eamil.

Respectfully,
