Default LTZ-400 CARB???

HAS ANYONE HAD A PROBLEM WITH POWERLOSS ON JUMPS OR WASHBOARDS?
CONSISTENTLY HAPPENING TO ME...DIDNT USED TO BEFORE I HAD INITIAL TUNE,
THEN 6 HRS WORTH LATER ID HIT THE WHOOPS AND LOOSE POWER ALMOST EVERY OTHER ONE? (YEAH THROTTLE WAS STILL ON)
POWER WOULD SNAP RIGHT BACK, BUT I SURE WOULD LIKE TO BE GASSIN IT OVER ALL OF THEM

CARB IS STOCK RIGHT OUT THE DOOR
MECHANIC SAID HEARD OF ONE OTHER CASE
SAID THE DIAPHRAM CARB WILL DO THAT FACTORY ISSUE ?
CAN ANYBODY COMMENT??
DONT PARTICULARY WANT TO SPEND $500 ON EDELBROCK THATS NOT EVEN PERFECTED

My buddies Z400 Did the same thing. We adjusted the float setting and it runs great now. It was getting gas splashed up thru the carb cause the float level was to high.

I dont know axactly how far to adjust it. I have done this so many times i can tell by looking at it if its right. I would just move it about a 1/16in leaner. That should clear it up. It may take a few tries
