RX-1 - Bogging Down

2003 Rear mount turbo RX-1. Just got it out of the shop, been working on the jetting to get it right.

Riding at 7 - 10K, 50/50 on the fuel. Went to a larger size for the mains and it ran great under throttle. But the low end bogs down bad, seems to flood easily. Hard to start after shutdown even. Once it cleans up it runs and sounds great though.

Any thoughts on what to do?
Thanks
 
checked the obvious areas and the easy to get to, nothing looked out of the ordinary. Connections and hoses looked good. Pipe looks good as far as I can see it. haven't gotten to the header yet.
Will see I guess.
 
You can't check properly with visual check,you'll have to build test plug,valve and gauge.Load 15-20 psi into the system,the diff between your plug and your gauge on the dash should be minimal,this will be your most important tool for maintaining your turbo.
 
Leak into the crankcase.

Linc...when I do this, I get no leaks in the connections, but a small amount leaks past the throttle bodies into the motor and comes out the crankcase vent. I assume this is normal?
 
I would start by replacing my needle and seats, I had to do this on my 03 turbo, and reset float levels, this should really help the starting hot.

A wide band A/F guage is priceless for tuning your carbs.
