Sounds like either sticking float needles or incorrect float height setting. If you replaced the float needles with after market ones the setting may need altering. Not a Yam expert, so you will need to consult your manual for the correct height.
turn where floats is hanging down and adjust to where the are hanging 17/32nds turn carb upside down and mesure the top of the flaot and be sue=re it is 1/4 inch lower than the carb flaot bowels.
hi,fairly common problem with modified exhaust,start with the pilot screws,turn right in untill the screws are firm then back out 1 and 3/4 turns,this is a fairly standard rule of thumb that will get most things going,as far as the jets go,the original size would be a good starting point,but you should only need to go up 10-15 sizes to compensate for the exhaust mods(ie stock might be 127 may need to go to138 or 140 etc),the other thing that i would recommend is getting hold of a set of damped carb balancers these will enable you to get the mixtures and carb balance dead right,they are relitively cheap and easy to use and will have paid for themselves the first time you use them.(i regularly get 4-8 sometimes 10-11 extra hp over stock by tuning the carbs up properly).hope this helps
my 82 seca which should have the same carb set up as your Maxim has a thumbscrew about in the middle of the carbs. i take off the left side cover and can reach in and turn the thumbscrew. then watch the tach as you do . Mine is set at 1050 as per my factory spec. hope that helps
i really apreciate your help! thank you
