While at Inzane this year, I had Big BF do a tune-up on my '97 bumble bee. This also included a carb sync. However, I forgot to tell him that I had put 38 slow jets in the carbs. How big a difference will this be  in the way the bike runs? And if so, what can I do to correct the the problem? I should have remembered to tell Big BF about the change, but just wasn't thinking about it.(Nothing new about the not thinking part.lol)

Don't think the 38s will have any effect on a carb synch.  It only balances the flow rate of the throttles.

Thank you old grouch, that is the good news. I would feel pretty dumb for asking the question, except that when it comes to mechanicing(sp), I know very little. But, I am learning, little by little. Thank you again.

The 38s would affect the pilot settings which should have been taken care of at that time.. It'll have nothing to do with the sync..

Mike,
No worry about it.
It only run thru air/fuel mixer and go thru the pilot screws.
Carb sync is to have all 6 carb running equal for air flow thru butterfly.
