    Carb / vacuum question

    I need to lean out my midrange.
    I really dont have a way to adjust the midrange jetting in these Yamaha carbs. I am thinking about playing with emulsion tube length. Trying to figure out if I should go longer or shorter. I have some longer ones from another carb that look like they would work and I can always cut down the existing to get a shorter tube.
    Im not sure where vacuum is higher, at midrange rpm or wide open. I would think at wide open vacuum would drop off.

    My guess is that the extensive intake stuffing has created a stronger signal to the carbs at lower RPM's and I need a longer emulsion tube to compensate.

    The existing emulsion tubes are pretty short. Damn...upside down as too!

    There are a series of small orifices that feed fuel at idle and then transition to the main jet but its on the main pretty quick. I have watched it pull fuel with just a small blip.
