 +The CV carb has an annoying habit of spitting back through the air cleaner. This is sometimes called a carb fart, lean misfire, spit, cough, hiccup, backfire, etc. It is a characteristic of the carb. When you twist the throttle, you are opening a butterfly valve in the carb, and velocity of the air flowing through it drops. The slide responds by dropping down to make the venturi smaller in an attempt to keep the velocity "​constant"​ (hence '​CV',​ constant velocity, carb.) It doesn'​t always work. Sometimes there is a lag between the time the butterfly opens and the slide drops. In this instant, the mixture goes lean and there is a lean misfire. The accelerator pump tries to compensate, but it's not always successful. Sometimes the throttle movement is not enough to trigger a shot of fuel from the accelerator pump.

 +In their quest to eliminate the carb farts completely, some people over-jet the idle circuit. If your bike needs NO enrichener to start when it's cold, and it NEVER has a lean misfire through the carb, it is probably too rich.
 +
 +Rather than over-jetting the idle circuit to eliminate the carb farts completely, I have used the following mod with a mixture screw adjustment and no pilot jet change with good results on the half-dozen or so problem bikes I ran across.

 +Here's the mod (not for the squeamish):​\\
