Who runs with no air box lid?

For those running with no lid and full exhaust, what are your carb settings and how does your plug look?

More turns out = more fuel = richer mixture

No lid. Drilled stock baffle, 125 main. 2 turns out on the pilot screw.
Spark plug looks good on a high RPM chop.

I did have my lid off, but then I put it back on without the snorkel. Bike feels better now, more power, better accleration. I must have been just a bit lean with the lid off.

Does the air fuel screw affect the overall performance of the bike, or does it just adjust the idle? I'm at about 2, 2.25 turns out and I get some slight poping on deceleration, would turning the screw out just a bit more elimanate that, and how would it affect performance?

You might notice a slight difference in that you will run richer in the lower quarter of the throttle range of the trottle range.
