Re: Any major drawbacks to swing axle in sandrail?
I do not know if this is your first rail or not but it sounds like it is... I personally agree with starting out with limited HP, wheel travel, etc for the simple reason that with limits you have to think before you do something and you learn what is possible and what is not. Sadly, the trend lately...

if the 152 jet runs fine but the 160 shows lean I would suspect that the 152 jet is not a 152 sized jet, someone drilled it out larger. Most decent bike shops should carry a good selection of jets for that carb. Get a few different main jets and go from larger to smaller. Put in the largest one and ...
