Needle height.

surging = lean condition right?

inderocker is an unknown quantity at this point
For the most-part, is it surging when the bike is cold or hot? What RPM range?

You can also shim the needles if you still have the stockers in there... #4 brass washers work well for that. the ones I put in (1 per carb, stock exhaust still) were approx .025"

PAIR description, etc. is in the Knowledge Base. Is the popping on accel through the pipes or through the carb?

Thanks for the feedback. Fiddled with the carbs a bit, cleaned them (seemed like some residue in them?) blew out the filter and meanwhile i had drilled out the pipes. For whatever reason the thing is running way better than before. Sounds great too!
