Would lowering the needle to say the #2 or 1 position, make a difference?
I am going to continue looking for my k&n jet kit (can't find it when I need it[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]) and also do some research here[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

They get some pretty serious winds over there. I was at Bass Lake in October and holy cow. Plastic resin charis on the deck ended up going across the deck and around the corner. Trees down on the roads. Power outages. You name it. We almost got blocked in but the branch wasn't that much on the road, plus it was dead and pretty light.
Current where I am (I'm about 1/2 mile from the weather station at Fresno Yosemite Internation (FAT):
This is what's going on at LJ's house:
51.4 °F / 10.8 °C
Overcast
Humidity: 84%
Dew Point: 47 °F / 8 °C
Wind: 8.1 mph / 13.0 km/h from the SE

He's about 1500' below Miami.

Hard to believe that a simple filter change would be that big of a deal. Was the stock air box that restrictive? You have created a lean condition if anything with the new filter. I would try turning in the air screw on the side of the carb a bit and see what happens. If it is a fuel screw turn it out. The needle would have to be raised to counter the lean condition, not lowered. Not sure if you were lowering the needle or the clip(lowereing the clip would raise the needle.) Any chanceyou now have a air leak? Would cause the same conditions.

I don't think I have a air leak. Didn't hear or feel one. I'll try the fuel mixture screw. What I do know is, it has a Dyna jet main #134 jet in it and the needle clip is in the #3 position.
