    Let me say this I wouldn't have anything but a nightmare if I didn't have this site. Super stoked on all you guys for helping me through this issue and so many others.
    OK great news. I pulled the carbs apart and quickly realized it was the air jet that was a 120. The pilot was properly upgraded to a 37 which is what I calculated based on http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=14692.html
    but the mains were stock!! only 112.5 hope I didn't hurt anything. For main jet I calculated it to need 116.5 but only could acquire 115 for now. 117's will arrive next week. Didn't have a 116.5 option. However the bike is already so much better. Much more acceleration and holds 60mph in 5th with good pick up. Hallelujah! Thanks again.
