JD Kit Advice-2006 TC 510

Installed my JD kit over the weekend. I'm a novice when it comes to jetting. I wanted the kit to help with hard starting, especially when warm. It starts much better now but it has developed the dreaded popping on decel. It is quite pronounced. It never did it before the install. I think the "standard" sea level recommendation on the JD instructions leaned me out a bit too much. Any advice on where to go from here to richen things up a bit ? Dont want to loose my new found east starting and good idle. I used the "standard" recommendations when I installed a JD Kit on my KTM and it has been perfect. Guess this carb jetting is as much an art as a science.

Have you tried adjusting the mixture screw? Maybe try turning it out (CCW) a half turn. A little popping is ok, IMO.

Sometimes popping on decel can be from a leaking ex system. The Huskys use several slip joins and springs, but the can not seal perfectly and let some air in = pop pop pop on decel. You may have been mightily rich before and are not spot on but have a pipe leak. Check that out before you toss the jetting settings.

Ok I'll give the mixture screw a try as well as check for leaks. I'm pretty sure I was rich before. There was absolutley no popping then. Popps SIGNIFICANTLY now. I can live with a little, but not this much.
